Resident Evil 4 was a good game

Mr. G

Everyone is talking about Resident Evil 4 again

'Tis the season for spooks and scares

I just bought a Gamecube copy of it

Who here is and isn't small-time

Daebunz

I replay it 1-2 times a year and I think I own every version of it because capcom found the game they can trick me into buying 10 times

Damn fine videogame

Grey Ghost

I no longer have my GameCube so I don't think I have a way to play it? I don't know what all ports it got
But yeah it's the best one in the series no question

I think all of them? This game has had a lot of ports.

I still have my fancy GameCube Steelbook edition but no longer a system to play it on.

Rorshach Kringle

you can play it on your ps4 @Grey Ghost

Grey Ghost

oh, yep
would you look at that

Grey Ghost

EIGHT BUCKS with PS Plus

whoops throwing this blurry Gamecube copy in the trash and doing this instead

The Betgirl

I think I've purchased this game five times and its worth it every time

I might go home and do separate ways soon too because I have nothing better to do this weekend

Mr. G

The secret is I've barely played this game

I've played maybe at most 90 minutes of it ever, I played way more of 5

I still find it weird this game has straight-up codec calls in it

Munkus Beaver

Never forget Mike and the bar he knew.

Snicketysnick

huh well I've got a Wii copy floating around here somewhere, but I'll have to look at bagging a ps4 one for sure.

Raijin Quickfoot

4 is the best RE even with the bullshit escorted part.

I've never managed to beat the first village

Which is fine because you can always just throw Ashley in a dumpster when it's convenient

JayKaos

I think the one I owned / finished was the Wii one, the motion control worked very well for aiming. Good stuff.

Fencingsax

This was a Good Game

Mr. G

This game has such an insane sense of style

One of the first things you do is an action movie window leap

Every single line of dialogue could be followed by putting on sunglasses

Raijin Quickfoot

I really, really liked 5 if you had another person to coop it with.

Munkus Beaver

Look.

After a bullshit amount of escort missions in the game.

Suddenly you are the escort mission for one Mike.

Who is streaming on his twitch client in style.

"Watch me push over this water tower guys, it's totally sweet." He says to his chat.

Fencingsax

Convincing friends to shoot the water was my jam back in the day.

I remember watching a play through of the first half hour or so of this game before it came out. I was completely convinced that video games had peaked and that was as good as it was ever gonna get.

@Keith has a quote from me saying how no game will ever look better than RE4

SaraLuna

as an adult, there's been lots of games I've finished then immediately started playing again.

RE4 is the only one where, after finishing the second playthrough, I immediately started playing a third time

Melding

i remember my friend bought a wii memory card and the wii version of this game and it came with re4 data on the card, not a save but the thing that records your unlocks. so we beat re4 that night only to discover that the memory card had the handcannon unlocked.

which is something i have yet to do on my gamecube copy, there was two levels i couldn't get past 4 stars. with leon i think.

In our defense, it holds up remarkably well. Most of it anyway.

Clint Eastwood

This game fucking rules, holy shit. Blacktail, Striker, Rifle, Mine Thrower.

Garlic Bread

I got this game at launch on GameCube, and my dad (super conservative, would change the channel if a show or movie got too violent or had swearing) walked by and said "why do you play these violent games?" and then I shot a dude in the knee and suplexed him, making his head explode. My dad went "woah that was awesome" and sat down and watched me play it for like an hour

Raijin Quickfoot

This reminds me I need to finish RE7

Melding

re4 is also the game that taught me that game devs tend to know shit all about guns.

and that as long as the game is good, i don't really care.

I stand by that 5 and 6 are still fun games but they are basically just action games and not scary (though 6 definitely had more low points and less boulder punching than 5)

Mr. G

Something about the upgrade system in this game (and 5) is just so ridiculously satisfying

I think that’s what drives the many, many replays people do

Raijin Quickfoot

RE6 is poop

The Betgirl

Straight up, the best thing about this game is that it understands that escort missions suck, and then it goes 'okay well you KIND of have to do escort stuff but not really', because there are constantly places to hide the person you're escorting, or they give you story reasons to split up

it's really clever and you can tell they know what the score is

Snicketysnick

I also like that Ashley gives you a bollocking if you try and stand under a ladder she's climbing, but only in her skirt costume. It's a great callout.

plus (secret costume)

that suit of Plate is such a great unlock

Melding

re5 suffered from not letting you have as many cool guns.

granted with a co-op partner that was less of an issue, but still. i think the way my friend and i went was he had the sniper rifle, i had the shotgun, both had a pistol and i think we both had magnums at the end?

Garlic Bread

I haven't played 6 at all. I need to finish 7,but I'll probably restart it on easy because I'm terrible at FPSes, especially ones where ammo is limited

The fact that Ashley is pretty low maintenance helps a lot and the fact that you can't kill her with shotgun spread fire, only if the aiming laser is on her directly
