"You're right. This is just the beginning."

Peak Gaming.
The 4 minute cinematic at the beginning sold the game for me. It was enough to make me understand the step Resident Evil 2 took in history.

Just like Metal Gear Solid 1 used the PS1's memory card and optimization to blow away a generation, using the save game to unlock the true ending is a good and original addition in my opinion.

I played the remake before I played the original game and I can safely say that I much prefer the 1998 version.
The blooming romance between Leon and Ada made it clear to me that they had taken Resident Evil to the next level. And I LOVE it.

The moment that the fixed camera angles really clicked for me was when I got to the Chemical Plant platform, with Claire and Sherry gazing at the full moon in the sky. There were times beforehand where I recognized the added tension of danger being just around an unseen corner, but it was around that scene halfway through the "Claire A" campaign that I appreciated just how cinematic the visual style was as well. It's the unique perspectives that make the locations that much more memorable and the exploration even creepier.

It was the best of times. It was the code Veronica of times. (My score really doesn’t reflect the quality of this game at all btw)

Okay so I attempted to play the ps2 version of this and I literally couldn’t see anything due to the awful brightness so all of this is based on the game running on a Xbox X.
This game has it all
A horrible first two hours that make the game so hard to make any progress in. So many ink ribbons and so little safe rooms, Disgusting bosses, brilliant atmosphere. A great use of the duo protagonists. Agent smith Albert wesker, The hottest Chris redfield, elaborate insect imagery, some enemies that are straight up unfair to fight, a powered up version of the most unfair reoccurring enemy in the series, A whole section built around hammer horror haunted mansion with a hint of queerphobia akin to psycho/dressed to kill, Nosferstu and last but not least incest.

Loved it.

If someone came up to me and said this is one the worst and most unfair games they have ever played I would look them dead in the eyes and say “soooo truuuuue” because they are correct.

Final notes. Gamers hate Steve because he is a mirror. I love Steve.

Resident Evil 2 Remake has an equally terrifying atmosphere as the original Resident Evil 2. However, it's disheartening that the B side is practically the same as the A side, with only the story changing. I liked some changes, such as Ada's reason for being there and her relationship development with Leon. However, I still find the original storyline's direction much more impactful than the remake. The gameplay is good but not impressive. I think the best thing I can praise is Mr. X. The fear I felt hearing his footsteps approaching was the greatest I experienced in the entire game.

What if the US occupation of Afghanistan but the Taliban are aliens who only communicate with grunts/guttural laughter/high-pitched Flea in THE WILD THORNBERRYS gibbering, and Afghanistan itself is the weapon of mass destruction, and it's all of the worst aspects of ALIENS (which is most of ALIENS) and none of the good but with zombies, and we just make everything after "The Silent Cartographer" a beyond tedious grind with copy-pasted corridors so we can shove this thing out the door on time.

tl;dr JockJamz MARATHON, or the BIOSHOCK to that game's SYSTEM SHOCK. Some interesting/compelling production design and gameplay dynamics throughout (hopping in a Warthog with a buddy is all-time and the assault rifle feels great) but otherwise utterly fucking dire even when playing co-op with a friend, not to mention grossly jingoistic and racist without the polish or design muscle to make it worth fucking with. Just skip to the sequel imho.

Strongest and most consistent atmosphere in the series besides RE1. The sound design, heralded by none other than Nobuyoshi Sano himself is nothing short of masterful and haunting, ambience and subtlety are a horror strength oft ignored. What’s already there visually is incredible on its own but with a man of his talent enhancing it through meticulous sound design? Holy shit. I thought the story was alright, it’s mostly carried by its setting and being short and cohesive, the relationship between Bruce and Fongling was neat. The light-gun gameplay mixed into third person was refreshing and fun, i really wish there was more of this. Awesome game overall.

“A “Don-Gua” never abandons a woman.”

I'm mad. I'm so mad. People have been Lying about this game for over two decades and I fucking believed them, like a fucking idiot. I'm so dumb.

THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN DMC 1 AND IS BY FAR THE BEST N64 GAME, PROBABLY THE BEST 5TH GEN ACTION GAME, PERIOD. The action has a good range of options that all feel appropriately weighty, The movement and platforming have a nice sense of speed while still being brutal and tight like the OG games, and the quest design is god tier for its time, at least in the console space.

Why did you do this internet. Why. I am LIVID. Holy shit.

The game is fun but there is NO content. We've been complaining about the lack of content for the last few Mario sports games, but I don't think it's ever been this bad. Aces and Super Rush at least had attempts at adventure modes, as superficial as they were.

The only single player content Battle League has outside of exhibition matches are cup battles, six cup tournaments where you face teams that excel in a certain attribute (shooting, passing, speed, etc.) The average match length is four minutes, and these cups have three matches each if you go all the way. There's also an online mode called Strikers Club, which is Mario’s take on FIFA’s pro clubs, however, I am yet to try this out considering not a single soul I know owns this game.

There's a fair amount of depth to the gameplay that keeps it entertaining. I particularly like how imperfect the goalkeepers are, and the gear system means that playing around with different team comps can be fulfilling, but all of this is for naught when there are only two unique modes to experiment in.

In a world lacking in tennis games, Aces was more than good enough to fill that void. But in a world where FIFA exists, Next Level Games have given me no reason to keep playing this.
