Resident Evil 2 |OT| 1998... I'll never forget it
- Thread starter Kindekuma
- Start date
Having the same issue so I disabled the mobile authenticator but that didn't help me. Steam keeps ignoring the VPN location.
Steam controller with a heavily modified 'mouse-like joystick.' I was able to land precision shots just fine with this setup in the demo.
I'm also using this setup because for some reason RE engine games don't support simultaneous mouse and controller inputs 😔.
Um......wow what? Kinda shocked how little there is to the game pre police station. There's less to the streets than there was in OG RE2. Very surprised by this.
I remember doing the same thing and then Silent Hill 3 totally fucking destroyed me, I had to play that shit in a room with lots of lights and during the day.
I think they've switched some street stuff to mid-game?
They messed it up pretty badly again, really surprised they didn't test out the difficulties properly, this game could really do with an actual hard mode and not jump from normal (which doesn't even give the choice for ink ribbons) straight to what should be an extra hard unlockable mode.
Trying to use protonvpn and I can't connect to anything. I've tried Japan and Netherlands and neither will ever go through.
I think maybe its tied to the Store location in the account? I opened steam in my browser and VPN was working but then i login and reverted to my timezone.
I just got around to playing the demo, and I was honestly surprised by how good it felt. Can you only play it once? I don't have the money to buy this right now, but I'll certainly pick it up down the line. I've missed creepy horror in a great location like the first two Resi and first two Silent Hill games. I should probably pick up Resi 7 as well.
Do not like that a bunch of pre order bonus weapons are sitting in my item box. Taints the playthrough. I'm gonna pretend they don't exist and never touch them.
Do you have things like Steam Guard disabled ? and the game pre loaded or downloading it now ?
Does anyone know if the newegg code gets sent to your email? About to buy the deluxe now if it does.
edit: They do within an hour

No steam guard. Had it predownloaded. Now its unpacking. About 70% complete.
Sweet, that's what I'm gonna do when I reach home from class in about an hour. Thanks !
Start Steam, disable steam guard, shut it off, install tunnel bear and run it. Run steam again and try and unlock the game. I know it sounds like a lot of effort for just a 3 hour wait, but I wanna get a few hours in before sleeping tonight.
Fuck yeah. Closed steam, set my VPN to the UK, restarted Steam, now I'm unpacking the game! 4 minutes and 30 seconds!
For the record, I'm using SoftEther VPN. Use it all the time for things like this.
Mine is done, ready to play. See you all Monday.
Brofist! I don't know how people can play these games any other way.
Also just to check, there is no deluxe physical edition in Australia right? What a bummer
Streamed this today on PS4. Cleared Leon A in just under 7 hours playing at a leisurely pace and exploring. Hadn't played the PS1 version for about 10 years so it felt pretty fresh and I was surprised by how much content was added or remixed.
Positives -
- Visuals were amazing and some of the best graphics I've experienced in parts.
- Voice acting, ambience and music were on point too.
- Areas were re-imagined and re-designed thoughtfully. The game still felt faithful while being modernized.
- Ada is still seductive, cheeky, badass and all around awesome
- The tyrant is terrifying and relentless
- Puzzles were well throughout and just about the right level for me difficulty wise (neither too easy or too hard)
- The way everything connected and all the shortcuts you can unlock gave the game that cool metrovania vibe.
Negatives
- Some new additions were a bit lackluster
- Final few boss encounters were a little frustrating
- Baffling design choices (cutting spiders, moth)
Overall these negatives don't really detract from the experience. It is already one of my favorite RE games, and I say that as someone who has beaten every Resi game outside of the crappy multiplayer one. I'd probably place it just behind RE-HD and the original RE2 (though that may be nostalgia) and just ahead of RE7. Need to jump into Claires campaign to see if that adds much outside of a few new areas and an extended ending. It may push the game to 2nd place on the list if so. But yeah - can't recommend it enough really.

And it's unlocked for you? Was thinking about Tunnelbear earlier so I'm gonna try.
sorry if this has been asked already, but how long of a game is expected on a first playthrough with Claire?
I can't seem to get some deep black without fucking the rest of the game on my OLED, tried both on PC and Ps4, guess the game is purposefuly like that? Don't have this problem with other games
Are we quite sure Capcom didn't mislabel these music options? The options are not Remake ir Original. The true options are clearly music on or music off.
Seriously this is literally silence.

I'm disappointed by the fact ink ribbons are locked to hardcore mode (I'd take ink ribbons without the difficulty spike to everything else) and that the journey to the police station is so short. No trip to Kendo's gun shop, seriously? Really hoping that's still in the game somewhere.
Other than that, I'm blown away. They've nailed the atmosphere. I'm coming into this fresh off a weeks worth of REmake play throughs (finished my Chris save 3 minutes before RE2 unlocked) and the atmosphere and tone rolls right through despite the perspective change.
Me too. How people are describing this is always how Mr X and Nemesis felt anyway.

Anyone living in Japan tried buying and activating a US Key so you get the uncensored version?
Gotta admit this is the only part of the game I'm personally concerned about. I like the slow atmospheric parts so much more than stalking sections.
