What are some absolutely awful game recommendations that /v/ has given you?
>OH IT'S JUST CLASSIC RESIDENT EVIL SURVIVAL HORROR!
Refunded this garbage after 60 minutes. It was just another bad action based Resident Evil game like RE4.
>>344308665
Bloodborne
>/v/ says Dragon's Dogma is the greatest thing ever
>pick it up
>it's the single most lifeless RPG I've ever touched with a mediocre combat system and unplayable graphical stutter
>return it the next day and get Revengeance instead
>>344308665
Op this game was a fantastic 3DS game. Assuming you got it on PC?
Also, if you didn't appreciate the horror elements of RE4, then you might as well give up on the series. RE4 is a masterpiece, and people who claim it's not 2spooky are no fun allowed faggots.
>>344309059
It's as spooky as gears of war/cod
Its actual survival in the hardest difficulty mode, you literally cannot kill ennemies.
>>344309137
Gears of war 1 was actually spooky, infact it was even categorized as survival horror military shooter
RE5 and GoW2 are of the same though, they completely threw away all elements of spook for pure action.
>>344309331
Re4 and 5 are identical except 5 had better controls and 4 didn't have shit ai
They were both equally non spooky
>>344309059
Oh yeah I was pissin' my pants in terror when I was shooting up a bunch of mexicans in a fortified house with my buddy Not Carlos™
To be honest I actually started playing more games because some nerd posted here that if you don't have more than 50 games beaten you shouldn't discuss videogames, which I agree with.
I think that was like 3 years ago.
Most games that I've discovered on this shithole were actually pretty good, although I tend to avoid games that I'm not sure I'll like.
>>344309316
That sounds pretty stupid though.
>>344309331
>it was even categorized as survival horror military shooter
Who the fuck came up with that category? You?
GoW is just a sci-fi TPS. You may as well be calling Doom a survival horror military shooter.
>>344309440
>chainsaw spook the first time
>Lovecraft lake spook
>regenerators
>salazaars left hand man
>the box boss where the things fall to the ground
>none of those spooky
Got it, you're a no fun allowed faggot.
>>344309598
Microsoft
>kryll
>zerkers
>general raam
>not spooky
>>344309440
No, they weren't. Why do I see people claiming this recently? 5 pushed it further away than 4 did, and both games play differently to one another. For starters, 5 pretty much dropped any micro management, it gives you stuff just as you need it. The pacing, atmosphere, setting, story, bosses, and characters are also delivered far better in RE4 - which felt survival horror/action. 5 was just an action game.
So no, 4 and 5 aren't the same. One was teetering on the boundary of its genre, and the other pole vaulted over it.
>>344308665
Got rused with Killing Floor 2 back then.
Never trust /v/.
>>344309791
Are you the type of person who get scared when the wind pushes your screen door open?
>>344309871
How old are you?
>>344309983
Yes because I enjoy video games, I must be afraid of everything that moves.
I didn't say I was pissing my pants or anything. I'm sorry but if you don't find any of RE4 spooky, then you are a no fun allowed faggot. RE4 is a masterpiece.
>>344310105
Dead space was spooky
Re4 was not.
>>344310080
24. And no, RE4 wasn't my first, and it's far from my favourite.
>>344308665
At least RE4 was actually good. Revelations was just a barebones straight-to-portable corridor shooter.
>>344309871
>For starters, 5 pretty much dropped any micro management
t. RE4 cuck
RE5 took the inventory management back to old school Resident Evil levels with limited slots
This might shock you, RE4 fan, but only RE4 had that stupid tetris bullshit.
>>344309031
great bait faggot
>>344310287
So you were 14 when you played it. Explains why you were scared.
>>344308665
REV2 is better but I wouldn't recommend it if you absolutely hated REV
>Its a neo-/v/ shits on RE4 thread
Don't you have a large hole to fall in you fucking degenerates?
>>344310205
To each their own. But to say RE4 is the same as 5 is ridiculous. 5 threw ALL elements of horror out the window for action.
You can tell that Shinji Mikami left while RE5 was being made, because when you go into buildings you don't get blinded like originally intended.
A lighting contrast that blinded you would be a good element of spook.
Dead space 3 is the RE5 of Dead space, threw away all spook for action.
And to OP I forgot to mention, while I loved revelations on 3DS, the Captain boss was truly spooky. Probably the high point of the game
>>344309331
>implying re4 is spoopy
what, are you stuck at 12 years old or whats the deal
>>344310421
He's not baiting you.
>>344309969
Played KF2 during the free weekend
It's literally just the first game but with better graphics. Maybe that impresses some Killing Floor fans, but I thought it was weak.
>>344309791
you're an idiot
dont mate, fuccboi
matter of fact, kill yourself too
>>344310631
Dead space 2 is re5
Dead space 3 is re6
>BAAAAAAW I TOOK SOME STRANGER'S RECOMMENDATION ON /v/ AND THE GAME WAS SHIIIIT
Nigger find someone else/another news outlet to inform you (or god forbid actually just play the game if you like the look of it)
>>344310317
If I meant inventory management solely, I would have said that. Also, see
>>344310287
>>344310475
I didn't play it at release, but I also didn't claim it was scary. I didn't play through the RE games until I was around 17, but I wouldn't claim any of them were scary.
>>344310552
>posts an image of Max Payne 3, the worst one, in an attempt to defend RE4
You're just a fan of bad sequels, eh?
>>344310810
6 never existed desu senpai
>>344309137
4 non spoopy? what about when your controlling ashley and those fucking suits of armor are chasing ya, what about the regenerators man!
>>344310552
>max payne 3
feel free to hurl your ass off a bridge
>>344310810
no, dead space 3 is at least a good sci-fi TPS
re6 is a 'cinamatic experience'-piece of fucking shit
>>344309969
I got KF2 after playing the pre-beta during launch time, I have 200 hours in and somehow feel some buyer remorse, game had tons of potential but they fucked up big with the development.
Early access never again for me.
>>344310552
We've reached a point where the contrarians don't realise that what they're saying is just fucking stupid.
>>344310552
Re4 is a good game
Just a shit re game and is ultimately the cause for the series drop in
quality
It's a damned good action game and re5 is even better, but a survival/horror game they are not
>>344310920
>Max Payne 3
>bad
Mate if there's anyone who's got some hefty opinions its you.its ok to have shit opinions tho
>>344310823
>someone else
i prefer the opinion of anyone here over some retard who gets paid interview or journalist
at least here there isn't only shills
>>344311153
>it's a good game but a bad X game
kys my man
>>344311153
this is 2 debatable. the series needed a revamp, cant just keep rehashing the same clunky formula forever.
RE4 did it right, RE5 fell off the horror line into pure action.
>>344310970
suits never run
regenerators?
you got a gun nigger, use it
pop the kneecaps on the first two, run past and grab the scope - its all pretty easy.
>>344311153
>its a good game
>just a bad ____ game
>>344311176
>I like badly written, overly budgeted Rockstar games with bad euphoria engine based gameplay
Same to you, buddy
>>344308665
Revelations 1 was worse than RE6. That's saying something.
Revelations 2, however, was pretty ok. Reminded me of RE5.
>>344311153
fuck off retard
>>344311226
That phrase absolutely applies and makes sense for a lot of games. Go drink bleach retard
>>344311214
I was talking about friends or family but ok anon
>>344311330
Did you play on something other than 3DS? I don't think it's fair to bash Revelations if played on a home console or PC. It shouldve never been ported. It's a quality handheld game, and that's about it.
>>344311282
Not him, but you're talking about it now like you knew that at the time. When something like that happens, and you don't know everything about them or how to beat them, it can be pretty tense.
>waaaaaaaaaah resident evil isn't an action game waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I hate you fucking retards. Yeah I remember in Res 2 when Leon put zombies asleep reciting Robert Frost.
Kill yourself faggot.
>>344311306
I ain't your buddy, pal
It's a good game, but I don't understand how a game this frustratingly repetitive and shallow could possibly be ranked among /v/s most acclaimed games. Also, the story was shite. If you want a great game with bullettime, play Max Payne instead.
Still a decent game, but come on. I had to force myself to play it from the second half onward.
>>344311153
I agree with this. Changing the gameplay into an arcade style shooter was a really stupid choice IMO. Evil Within did it right but that was too little, too late and not the right series.
>>344311587
nostalgia
>>344311153
Pretty much this.
Good action game
Shit survival horror
It's okay because dead space came out a bit later and gave us a real survival horror tps.
>>344311384
It's a stupid phrase people use to try and discredit a good game simply because it doesn't suit their paint by numbers formula the franchise has developed. It's not a good point to make, so don't make it.
None, because I'm not a dumbass who takes recommendations from forums dedicated to vietnamese napkin doodles
>>344311648
Uh no. Dead Space was just RE4 in space.
>>344311546
i ain't your pal mate
>>344311748
I agree with this, I'm not sure how anyone can shit on RE4 not being spooky vs Dead space when they're the same thing different setting.
I think they might just find aliens spookier.
>>344310970
>spoopy
Stop this shit you tumblr tard.
>>344309059
I honestly didn't like how disjointed RE Revelations was. I understand the whole "multiple character views" thing, but switching characters mid-chapter, to do something inane, was kinda lame. It feels like a movie, complete with weird cuts for side-characters.
If every character/pair had a chapter, that would be much better.
Genesis was so retarded they dropped it.
>>344311748
Dead space had better controls and was an actual survival horror game.
>>344311587
The repetitive environments didn't really bug me that much since the gunplay is so satisfying and fun that it kept me hooked through-out.
>>344311630
> Changing the gameplay into an arcade style shooter
it never was an 'arcade style shooter'
literally all it did was put the camera behind the player-model's shoulder while keeping the gameplay in terms of controls similar
also the evil within fucking sucked compared to re4
>>344311914
Explain how Dead Space is a survival horror game.
>>344311587
I'm sorry friend but it seems that you unfortunately are burdened by retched shit taste
>>344311942
You... you never played a single RE game before 4, have you?
>>344311879
Dead space had better atmosphere, enemy design, story, level design, lighting, sound direction and better gameplay. I know everyone hate EA but ds blows re4 out of the water
>>344311879
>>344311748
Dead Space was dark as fuck and had mostly enclosed environments. In RE4, you start in a village at daylight.
>>344311914
>Dead space had better controls
Fuck off retard. RE4 had the shitty tank controls nostalgia autists cum themselves over. It's just a different perspective which they can't handle without shitting they m/l/p diapers and then microwave them to breath in the heady aroma.
Fuck RE fags.
Fucking queers pretending that shit Gone Home clone coming is going to be a good game just to stick it to 4 fags.
Fuck them.
>>344311330
>Revelations 1 was worse than RE6. That's saying something.
Except that's wrong you fucking retard.
>>344312106
have you?
>>344311901
I didn't like the constant character switching either. I wish they kept the story on the boat.
Like how the first game was all about trying to escape the mansion. If they jumped to another character off somewhere else far away from the mansion, it would've just ruined the immersion.
>>344312112
I disagree. First off you're comparing two different generations of games.
Second off the pacing, inspiration, atmosphere of RE4 is excellent. But this is all a matter of taste at this point.
I do believe 4 is a masterpiece, and will continue to say so.
If it makes any difference, I've been playing RE since the 90s when it first came out, so I'm biased.
We can all agree survivor was shit though, right?
>tfw no REmake:Outbreak file#1 
Why the fuck did they bother remaking 0 though. Fucking Neo-capcom
It was the closest thing we had to classic RE in a long time. But that's not saying much.
Only problem was the fucking action segments and the giant thing you fight at the very end. Killed the game for me. But the rest where you explore the ship was bretty gud.
>>344308665
I loved Revelations, beat it 3 times on 3DS and once on PS3. It's still very much an action game but I did appreciate things like the Queen Zenobia as a setting with is cramped hallways, some setpieces like the comms officer and infected Rachel, what few puzzles there were like the coin puzzle and the bulkhead steam valves, and the general slowe pacing compared to even RE4. That said, scanning kinda breaks the game and it is hardly a return to proper survival horror.
>>344312461
i dont understand why they even needed to re-release Remake
both REmake and zero look even better than most games released nowdays anyway
>>344312697
>Upscale old game
>Free shekels
Capcom was in the red before REMake became their best selling digital title
>>344312106
maybe you should pop in RE2 and RE4 and try to objectively compare them
RE2 had the fixed camera angles, RE4 puts it behind Leon
RE2 had you stop movement whilst aiming, so did RE4
RE2 gives you up and down aiming movement while the auto-aim does horizontal movement: RE4 actually gives the player more control by allowing aiming on the X-axis
so tell me, have YOU played classic RE, or do you just fucking suck at analytical thinking?
>>344312863
RE2 and classic RE design encourages running away from enemies
RE4, REV and REV2 encourage fighting enemies because it feels really stupid to run away from them when you have total control over what you see.
>>344312995
being low on resources is what encouraged running away from enemies in the early games
I'd say that's the key difference between the modern games and the classics
>>344313442
Enemies not shitting out gold, ammo or healing items would help
RE4fags can say "b-but it has tank controls too!" all they want, but camera and perspective matter, and classic RE would make you nervous because you can't see what's ahead
RE4, REV and REV2, you can perfectly see what's down a hallway. There's no camera that obscures what you can see.
>>344312995
>RE2 and classic RE design encourages running away from enemies
You mean running right past them as if they weren't even there.
>>344313770
Problem is, you act like these companies are out for charity. I am all for Niche games, but RE has always been pretty popular.
They needed to revamp the formula and 4 was done right, where 5 was too much action.
I just played REV2 and personally, I genuinely thought it was fantastic compared to 5 in terms of spooks.
Rev2 got me a few times desu.
>>344310317
>1 green herb = one inventory slot
>rocket launcher = one inventory slot
>good inventory management
>>344314089
Rocket launcher took two slots buddy
>>344314050
>I am all for Niche games, but RE has always been pretty popular.
Resident Evil was literally Capcom's top selling franchise, beating out the likes of Street Fighter and Mega Man
It didn't need to change with RE4.
>>344311587
>he played a game about a combat unit named F.E.A.R. for the story
>>344314264
I'm pretty sure sales were going down.
Anyway, fuck you, if it weren't for the revamp we wouldn't have gotten DMC.
>>344312863
I literally just beat RE2 yesterday on Playstation, and it doesnt not have autoaim.
>>344313770
I always saw the limited perspective as a kind of gimmick to add cheap tension, though I specifically mean in rooms where you enter with the camera fixed on the player-model and enemies being out of the frame, but these were mostly far and few inbetween
even then, it's not hard to make a mental map of enemy positions - especially with the auto-aim which *always* enables when you have a clear shot
the thing is, after the switch to a more player-controlled camera, you can't go back to a far more limiting game design. And RE4 also proved that it could up the tension like a mother fucker, with enemies such such as the regenerator. Future games should rely on adding more of these encounters, which balance the more modern control scheme
>"You liked Soul Hackers and have a Vita?"
>"Get Persona 4 Golden anon, it's really good!"
I played the other Megami Ibunroku Persona games after that. 2 blows it out of the water in every aspect.
>>344314575
You should do something about that onset of dementia, or maybe find out the definition of auto-aim, which the classic games all have due to their limiting camera.
>>344314575
It does if you turn it on.
Apparently it's on by default for the Jap version and off for everyone else.
>>344314659
The difference between classic RE and RE4 is this
There's this part in RE4 where you fight this dumb alien bug in a basement and you freeze it or something. It's never a scary moment because you're always in control. Just shoot at it until it dies.
That moment in REmake where the elevator is busted and Lisa Trevor is waiting for you in the caves? That still fucking terrifies me like the game just came out on the Gamecube. It's just you and her and those rattling chains. Nothing in RE4 comes even close - especially not in a game with a stupid troll thing right out of the Hobbit or LOTR.
>>344314916
Well fuck me, I beat all 4 scenarios without it on. Still wasn't particularly hardexcept ClaireB since I did LeonA as I did LeonA/ClaireB first and Mr. X threw me around a bunch of time
>>344314907
I didn't fiddle with the control settings so it must have them but i didnt use them.
>>344311269
This right here.
I wish Mikami never left, I would've liked to see what he preferred for a RE5.
>inb4 Evil Within
>>344315185
nice strawman on the RE4 argument. I'm sure you found the entire section 2ez5you and you were never ever blindsided by either of them. Also the bugs were never the highlight of tension and scares in RE4, but whatever
here's what I think about Lisa in REmake;
the part where you're rummaging through her cottage and wonder 'why the fuck doesn't the save-menu tune play with this typewriter around' after which she makes her entry, was pretty effective, but all that tension ended the very next moment where she pounced the lead character on the head without any consequence to their person and then allows them to escape without giving chase. Also she was disposed of in a very anti-climactic manner, so whatever REmake tried building her up to, it didn't amount to much
Fucking Darkest Dungeon. Holy shit that game is the definition of an unfun grindfest. Tried to keep playing to maybe squeeze a drop of fun out of it, but now I regret it because I've played too long to refund that trash.
>>344316748
TEW > RE4
Don't even give a fuck. I prefer TEW's difficulty and mechanics. It's action isn't as smooth but when things slow down I think it's a much better game.
>>344314089
Not in Resi 5
>>344317670
Oh I agree, it's difficulty remained higher and had some spooks legitimately get me, but otherwise I still wish he stayed and applied that to African Evil. Along with those old trailers' high enemy count and conceptual half-submerged jungle pyramid.
>>344309031
This. I also made the mistake of listening to /v/ once. glad that steam allows simple refunds now. I mean, it's okay if you think dragon's dogma is a good game, but just know that you do have shit taste, and dragon's dogma is objectively a bad game.
>>344318462
Depends on what you want. If you're looking for rich lore and detailed quests, you've got the wrong game. If you want to kick mythological creature ass, you can definitely do worse.
