Resident Evil 2 Review Thread
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
Ithink you're being a little bit extreme with that axe against Isolations - I'd cut less than half - but overall I agree. But at the same that is true for Alien Isolation because the only thing that truly worked in it as far as mechanics go were the horror segments. When the game tried to be more focused on stealth or combat it lost its way. Resident Evil whoever can do those things, which can allow for a bigger length without compromising the pacing.
All that said, RE2's campaign lengths seems just about right. Although I think a bonus mode (already announced, now it only has to be good) is needed to give the game a longer life.
Hey at least they stopped already with "it's the Dark Souls of INSERT GENRE"
I was also under the impression the lack of a zapping system meant there was no A/B, but it looks like there actually is, what?
It peaked with the "Dark Souls of Jurrasic Park" for Monster Hunter World.
But I bet someone would slip it in for DMC5, almost certain of it.

Imagine being paid to write about games and then publishing something like this.
This is why people think IGN is stupid. (I didn't say IGN is stupid, ''people'' did, and come on let's be honest here nobody think they are smart.)
This shit right here is exactly why people keep making fun of IGN.
They are so incredibly numb, shallow and impatient even compared to your average mainstream gamers, and they are always too quick to pass the judgement as if they think they know what they're talking about. It's sometimes funny to me how they take their own reviews seriously when clearly it's just amatuer level shit. Even YouTube reviewers like AngryJoe or Skill UP writes reviews that's more professional, insightful and informative.
IGN is the DSP Gaming of video game journalism. They are the ''There's no gun in the demo'' of video game critics.
the length alone is not a problem with alien isolation. the length became a problem because the ideas it had started to wear thin. resident evil 4 is just as long as alien isolation but it has a steady steam of new locations and enemies and encounters and weapons to keep you entertained. "too short" is basically, the game is over and i've not had my fill yet.
It's embarrassing and they don't dare to remove the review, because they will lose so many clicks. 🤣
the scenarios are just who goes first and who goes second, don't worry about it, it's really not a big deal, just pick the character you want to start with and go from there.
To me, even with more ideas, lenght would've been a problem. All horror games I recently enjoyed were comfortably with 10h and Alien was one exception and explicitly ag ame I wanted to be over about 8 hours in. It were lovely 8 hours, but it was as good as done in my eyes by then.
From the SkillUp review? He described it as a timer because he doesn't want to spoil what it really is. It's not a timer, not really. More of a constant threat in some sections of the game that kind of forces you to do stuff urgently.
What are some other spoiler-free reviews out there that you could recommend guys? I checked out the SkillUp review and thought it was great.
Controller. Have my PC connected to a 75 inch QLED and Atmos sound system. My body is ready.

IGN employs so many morons.
I wonder if Metacritic will break their "no score adjustments" policy 🤔 😋
Seems about 6 hours per run, not including failed attempts. So it's pretty much in line with the OG, which is typically around 5 hours at a leisurely pace.
Thanks. I don't know why he was being so secret about that. Most of us already know about it.
The IGN review now says the scenario B of each character isn't much different than the first one. this is what, a few hours before the reviewer didnt know about the different scenarios? What the fuck?
"The one big letdown is that the two characters' stories aren't different enough to make the second playthrough as rewarding as the first, even after unlocking the 2nd Game mode. But whichever you choose to play as, the experience of playing through the new Resident Evil 2 for the first time establishes a new standard for remaking classic games. "

Seems like they are desperately trying to salvage the original review, just embarrassing all around.

Disappointed it seems the A/B potential was completely wasted.
Gutted it's a bit short as well considering they added to the original.
But everything else sounds good.

You missed the buttons not doing anything. Page 10 or 11 of this thread... (User was banned for trolling)
It's a reference to a poster in this thread who said he played the demo and didn't know you could find a gun.
I'm so excited! Just speed ran Leon A on the orginal, got a respectable 1 hour 24 minutes. :) Will do Claire B tomorrow.
