Resident Evil 2 Review Thread

People enjoying life without worrying what others think = cringe. Common mantra on same forum = you do you.
Good question. It was alright in the demo but I'm hoping as your character theoretically adjusts to the situation, this dies down quickly. As in, it fits in an opening segment, not so much 40 slaughtered zombies in.
When I first played RE4 I imaged that all future RE games would be like the RE2 remake.
I enjoyed the over the shoulder view in 4 but then expected the series to put that into more of a horror setting going forward instead of the all out action we got with the next two entries.
This is what I've wanted from RE for a decade.

Happy to see it reviewing well. RE7 got me on the Resident Evil hype train as I really enjoyed my playthroughs of that game. But, I remain petrified of horror games so I'll inevitably watch an entire playthrough so I at least know what to expect. I wouldn't have finished RE7 without going that route first. Also, this Mr. X guy sounds absolutely horrifying to deal with.
Reminds me of the regenerator from Dead Space 2.

No, Karak mention that theres not enough actually and It can be too quiet at times
Funny the reviews that gave 7 also said it's "must have". Lol.
Kinda hoping to a 93 or 94, still good enough.

That's not good to hear because it was really bad in the demo. Made the graphics and everything look really awful.
Any word on frame rate on PS4PRO? I played the PC demo but am not getting it until I buy my Radeon 7. I don't mind double dipping.
Any info would be appreciated.

This game is definitely not as scary as RE7 so if you can get through that, you should be good.
Oh I actually dig that, thanks for the info.
Also unrelated to this reply, I'm glad to see this game length. I'm currently majorly burnt out on "epic-as-fuck experience".
Yeah, i need to know if it's Madhouse RE7 hard from the start or it's more doable.

Can someone add it to the OP please?

Thats exactly the way I feel, I'm so ready to play a short, highly replayable game.
Very difficult. Worse than Madhouse. A single bite from a Zombie can take you down to Red Danger. There's only two or so Ink Ribbons for the first area of the RPD. Boss enemies are much faster, as is Mr. X (but he's still manageable). Lickers are pretty much a death sentence if you don't have a weapon that'll stun lock them (and given how rare the ammo is, you probably won't.)
Hardcore is a great challenge, but it's definitely not for your first play.
Awesome thanks!
Welp looks like I'm going to be playing it on PS4pro until I get my new card. Can't wait!
I had no issues with this. I DID wish they talked just a tiny bit more. Which is a rare thing for me to want. But it might be because I liked this voicework alot.
Quite often.
Didn't happen like that for me, I completed Leon's run and unlocked Claire's alternate.
It seems he is quite constant for the first 2/3 of the game.
It's not like the original game where he'd appear in a room and then you'd just exit the room and he's gone. I suggest reading a few reviews, it's a complicated situation.
With Mr.X being more prominent in this game, I wonder how they are going to change R3make now to make it feel fresh considering Nemesis is the same type of stalker enemy X is.
Once he's on the map in RPD, he's on the map and can go most places and into most rooms (but not all, so there are safe spaces). You can lose him, but doing stuff like firing a weapon might draw him from the other side of the building to where you are, etc. He tracks you, basically. Once you leave RPD, he'll show up in a similar fashion in other locations, though he's never as a threatening, always-on-you presence as in his earliest appearances.
Just bought the game on PC, f it. The demo was sweet.
I might book Friday off.
CDkeys I think. I skipped the deluxe edition because I don't really like any of the costumes.

Hardcore it is then.
No wonder you chose The Cage, you're also nuts, clearly.
I read his post on Hardcore and my balls shriveled.
Thanks and congrats on your viewership. I never really paid attention to it before but when I just clicked it was around 4,000+ views for that RE2 review already, I mean goddamn! Really great reviews and the only reason I didn't check yours yet is because I'm avoiding the full reviews since I want to go in as fresh as possible.
That honestly sounds horrible and obnoxious. Weapon fire drawing him is probably the worst tidbit I've read about the entire game yet for my specific tastes.

Quick Q regarding this. i know you can stun him for a bit by shooting him, but can you completely down him for extra items like Nemesis in RE3?
