Unfortunately, what I've gotten in my first hour or so has been two lockups in the first area where the enemy refuses to attack and the game just sits there. : / I put it down after that and haven't been back to it. Haven't decided whether I want to go back to it and deal with the potential frustration (I've read changing the priority of the game's process to "high" helps) or just uninstall and move on to another RPG for now.
Post some screenshots!
Damn.
This year.
So many games.
Try going to Windows options and setting default to your headphones.
Sometimes mine reverts to the headphone output on my Yeti microphone for some reason.
Unless if you're aiming for high FPS AAA games, what's wrong with current high end single GPUs at 1440p?

Grief, he has a copy of Pandora Tomorrow too. The elusive.
Tons of stuff like old Swat games, Kings Quests, Final Fantasy Vii, almost every Sim building game, The Movies, Black and White, Indiana Jones, Freedom Fighters. It was like Gog's closet. I'm going to get The Thing from him later.

Soon we'll get a real Resident Evil game.
I think there are 35" curved 21:9 1080p monitors but my stomach turns at the mere thought of 2560x1080 pixels stretched to that size yuck
Especially considering the incredible pricing.
Soon we'll get a real Resident Evil game.
"Real".

RE has been action longer and the best selling ganes are all action.
Even the first is still a heavy action title. So turning it into a cheap PC horror knock off, sucked.

indeed, capcom just wants to take advantage of project PT fiasco and VR, they are only using the name RE to increase sales.
Yeah, that's a known problem which affects some people, too bad IFI didn't go back to fix this yet, and it looks like they won't in the near future or at all, being busy with another port right now. I haven't had a single crash or lockup in my 80+ hours with RB1, and i was using GeDoSaTo all the time too. As far as i know, RB2 and RB3 don't have gamebreaking bugs like this (RB3 had one before, but it had an universal workaround, and it may have been patched).

Hope you aren't assuming me. While it isn't what I want, I'll still be playing it. It still won my game of show.

I'm playing Umbrella Corps with a couple friends when it comes out, will post my impressions here when they've settled. And of course pre-order Resident Evil 7 & REmake 2 the moment they become available.
I obviously have a thing for horror (I make that abundantly clear), but I actually also have a big thing for co-op and other genres too. Resident Evil being horror or action (or some hybrid) has never bothered me personally, and for a horror enthusiast, I have pretty broad taste on the genre (many only like a few specific types of horror that appeal to them). My only weakness as a horror fan is I'm not super big on 'shock horror' (movies that's main appeal is to try and shock/disgust the viewer), and I am particular about revenge flicks, and have to be in the right mood for point'n'clicks, but I am pretty open to trying new experiences.
I do agree, even away from this, many gamers are so much against change it's almost a bit sad. You will notice the thing that upsets the most vocal gamers will be something they liked being changed, that will almost always cause the biggest outcry, and does establish many would rather be in a comfortable place than try to broaden their minds/tastes outside of this thing they liked, regardless of how good the game that comes out of it is most of the time. Many gamers just seem to fear change just for change itself, and that's a shame.

I've got a bit of time today before I do some Father's Day things, think I'll do a few write-ups for horror games I've played. I need to do more write-ups on some of these games, I definitely have thoughts.
The gif you posted reminds me a poor Destiny mixed with Tomb Raider Lara killing machine, there's not even a zombie

I'm not sure I ever posted this review I did here, so I'll start with this, about to do a few write-ups.
Left Alone
Left Alone is a first-person psychological horror-puzzle game about a man named Joel who was left by his family while in a coma, and has found himself in a miserable life where his only real companions are two friends he made while he was at war (where he earned a medal of honor). He's an ex-soldier now, and with his only real friends returning from their overseas stay, the three of them agree to go camping and fishing to reunite, relax, and share stories. However, things go south when his two friends arrive there before him and get trapped in a nearby abandoned school...
This game was much better than I anticipated it to be. To be honest it doesn't give the best first impression, and there's roughness about the title (some objects and models you can clip and walk right through being the biggest thing), but this game nails what it sets out to do.
This game actually completely unnerved me. I wasn't expecting it to, I am a horror veteran who has played all eras of the genre, and I've gotten harder to scare over time. And it doesn't accomplish this with jump scares or cheap tactics, it has some excellent sound design and slowly builds up a really thick atmosphere and creepy antagonist. You read about the people before you, and small things happen as you explore. It got to the point where I started feeling incredibly paranoid, and I admit I got completely spooked for a good 10 minutes. Rare for me, and worth bringing up.
Which also highlights the game's excellent sound design and slow burn elements. Sound brings a lot to horror, and they nailed it here. The music is appropriately spooky, as are the sounds, and most fit with the scenes so well I hardly noticed them, and yet they succeeded in unnerving me. Really helped the immersion factor, and knew when to go quiet too.
And this is to be said; the game is a bit slow. It builds up its scenario, you spend some time exploring rooms. And the game has puzzles, some relatively challenging ones at that. There were a couple points I was stuck at a puzzle for 10-15 minutes before eventually solving it; none are really too hard once you figure them out, but many give you cryptic or little information you need to piece together to figure out the solution.
With all of this comes a rather nice story, though I will admit while the ending wasn't bad I kind of wished they would of explored it more.
There's not a whole lot more for me to say on the game. It's a fantastic psychological atmosphere piece with some great mood, cryptic puzzles, and builds itself up nicely. If that sounds up your alley, I'd recommend it.

People like to blame RE4, blame Code Veronica and 0.
No not you. I know you'll play it.
Can't talk for 0, but CV is great, although a tad too unbalanced.
Also, I don't see what's to blame in the series, if it wasn't for the turn it took into the action genre, we wouldn't have one of the best action games ever made.
EDIT: ohhh now I get what you're talking about. Still disagree that it was a mistake to take the action approach, though, as it brought us so many great games.
I really don't get this. Each passing entry was more of an action title.
RE2 was more focused on action, 3 even more so. CV came around, again, it was less about scares and more on puzzles/action. 4 just really gave us the formula that made it worked perfectly, but the direction of the series has always been moving more towards an action title.
Maybe he meant their relative lack of success which prompted RE4 to be more actiony, and ITS subsequent megasuccess.

That and that they were both mediocre games. REmake was amazing but 2/3 of the games in that style at the time were meh... No wonder they shook it up for 4.
I love 4. I just wish they kept similar to it instead of going balls out and ruining it. 5 is fun too but not as much as 4.
I assume you don't sit about or less than 1m away from your >40"+ TV
(question though... how do large TVs maintain the quality despite a 1080p resolution)
Speaking for myself anyway. I've seen a 27" 1080p panel in person and the pixel density already left a lot to desire imo, so I imagine a 35" panel would be pretty damn bad

The Town of Light
The Town of Light is a first-person exploration psychological horror game about a woman named Renée, who after many years returns to old mental asylum she spent her teenage years at and reflects both on her past, and her present. During the process, the game deals with a number of interesting, but disturbing, themes in explicit detail, ranging from the sense of identity of self from going through such an experience, if you can truly feel like you're you in a situation where the world tells you who you are is wrong, sexual identity and exploration in a locked-in facility, and being taken advantage of in a number of ways when people try to exploit and empower themselves through your lack of ability to defend yourself.
If any of what I just said peaks your interest, I would recommend checking it out. It's a narrative-based journey, and it explores its themes with a level of tact and maturity, but also know it doesn't censor itself and there is graphical details that many may not be comfortable with or want to experience. As a narrative, it succeeds, not to be shocking, revolting, or even specifically to shake you up, but it simply tells a series of true stories and scenarios people experienced in mental asylums in the early 1900s, specifically that in Italy, and the sad fact the scars these places left on the people inside to make it the only place many of them ever knew as a home. The narrative is mostly straight-forward, and there is but one ending, but there is actually a few branching paths and sections with different levels or variations of levels in the second half of the game based on some gameplay choices you make.
It is also worth noting the game does well with its audio, maybe with the exception of voice acting (which is a little rough, but also not very frequent), but the music fits the moods of the scenes well, with a few stand-out tracks. Ambiance is also ripe in the title, and there are all sorts of small yet interesting environmental sounds.
Now, while what it does narratively I feel it succeeds at, I think it does have a few rough edges. Graphically it is a bit uneven, with some areas looking pretty good, and some coming off as quite rough. The game isn't always entirely clear in what you need to do next, which will lead to moments where you may spend some time wandering, looking for whatever it is you missed. Take so long, and she'll tell you directly where to go (and you can enable choice hints to activate at any time), but it feels there could of been some clearer and more intuitive ways to do this. I also feel some people will not be satisfied by the ending, as it does seem to come a bit abruptly and not really climax well to the point, but I liked it for what it was and the sort of story it was trying to tell.
Also do know the game has some graphic depictions. It doesn't shy away from these really detailed and gruesome pictures of how to perform surgery, everything from dissecting a hand, to peeling back the layers of someone's skull. They're morbid, and not all will swallow these old procedures in visual detail well. Likewise, the game doesn't shy away from the graphical depiction of nudity and sexual harassment/abuse. Worth noting, but also know it does handle these themes with a level of tact and doesn't use them for shock value.
In the end, what the game should be experienced for is its narrative. There are interesting scenes and a few light puzzles, but it goes to put you in the shoes of a woman coming to terms with herself, and on that front, I feel it succeeds. It is very much a walking simulator with light gameplay elements and puzzles, and a few scenes of surrealism edge you go through, but it stays mostly grounded and explores an unfortunate history. If that's what you're looking for, there is a lot to like here, and its execution is mostly well done, and both explores its story and history with respect, yet doesn't shy away from some of the harder to swallow details. Yet, despite the harshness of it, it also gives off a strangely warm vibe in an overall sense. An interesting journey for those who want a narrative-driven exploration game.

My reaction to Root Double Route D so far:
Honestly people, get this game if you have any interest in a sci-fi mindfuck VN. Maybe during Summer Seal?
I backed it. Will play it after my exams... And after Zero Time Dilemma... And after my trip :")

First one is hilarious.
Don't think Jackie Chan will ever be topped when it comes to those style of films and choreography.
i never actually saw the first movie, I really love 2 tho, jackie chan was a lot of fun but i stopped watching his films after that Gorgoeous film (i thought it was decent)
why can't y'all be like hektor
I can not tell a lie, I modded pretty ladies into my Skyrim. It was too easy, all I had to do is press a button! How could I not?
I left their normal Skyrim clothes on though
And my player character is cat man.
Did they name that game by throwing magnetic poetry at the floor? Come on now.

Probably not aged as well as the second but it's still good. His mother in the second is the best thing ever though.
