  1. I just want to know the cost. LOL. If I have to start putting money away for the PS5 again, I need to be committed to not dipping into my savings anymore. Tokyo Game Show begins on 23 September.
  2. Good God! Gamescom unfortunately didn't deliver today. However, this is only day one. It's going to be continued until Sunday, so hopefully we will see an improvement tomorrow. I hope.
  3. A part three may happen eventually.
  4. I kind of like that cumbersome feeling, though. You're not well equipped to begin with, which adds to the dread and realism. As the levels get harder, you acquire better s*** to combat said hard levels. I think in the RE games, you can have your gear carry over into the new game, but in general, it makes some of the otherwise challenging parts become nothing but a simplistic cakewalk...
  5. I definitely have to get a PS5, in case they make a third part. I'd also like to see a sequel to Days Gone. These last several PS4 games made me so excited to be a gamer again, after I started to lose interest in survival horror games.
  6. The remake of RE2 and especially 3, made for an underwhelming experience. Fans wanted a remake in the same style as the 2002 game. Not with having a totally changed up, cheesy ass story, where the zombies serve as bullet sponges. While the RE2 remake isn't quite as awful as the RE3 remake, it's by no means a masterpiece. RE3 in particular, has very linear gameplay. Nemesis only comes after you during lame scripted segments. They used the exact same looking car Ethan Winters rams Jack Baker with in the garage in RE7 for when Jill does it to Nemesis near the beginning. How lazy. The voice acting isn't bad though, but the game cut out so many enemies, locations, and more, for the most part. Most of the original sections like the clock tower and the gas station are in it, only to serve as backdrops. Oh, and Carlos doesn't give Jill the vaccine either. Jill does that herself. Also, the final section wasn't set in that factory either, where you had to destroy Nemesis with a large laser thing. You have to use this crappy looking gun and I swear, Jill says something really stupid in that scene. She does say her iconic line at some point nonetheless. Not that it sounds all that impressive. The final section of the game is based in a lab, like the one in the RE2 remake, referred to as 'NEST' or something. They have zombies with no hair, which were also in RE2, I think. I'm not sure. But overall, RE3 (2020) sucks because they just left out so much content to rush it out! In the original, enemies of different varieties could still attack you together, but in this game, they didn't do that. Not to mention, they got the ending wrong. While the original had multiple endings, the real ending is Barry saving Jill and Carlos. That doesn't happen in this game at all, because there's just that one, almost emotionless ending where you catch a glimpse of the city blowing up. Nothing with an impact like in the original, and that's sad considering a game from 1999 is better than a game from 2020. So they didn't even pay any attention to the canonical aspects of the franchise, and the game was outsourced. RE8 is apparently still coming to the PS4, despite what Capcom said. It doesn't look great enough to be a PS5 title anyway. In fact, WhatCulture Gaming uploaded a video about that on their channel yesterday, I think it was. Also, did you know that Konami makes personal computers now? Just what is going on with Capcom and Konami?!
  7. 2 weeks later... No survival horror skills in y'all.
  8. Is this site generic in its execution?

      Hey man, apologies for being a bit harsh on you in the Last of Us thread. I appreciate it can be difficult to communicate and understand people's intentions if you have learning difficulties like Asperger's - had I known I wouldn't have posted those things in that way. 

      I encourage you not to get so frustrated by the lack of forum activity. This forum, like many others, has seen a substantial drop off over the past five years, and that's because there are so many different websites for people to discuss games on now. Reddit and the bigger forums you've mentioned are toxic, as can be seen by the replies you received on that Reddit post. Due to the size of those websites, and their lack of sensible moderators, it can be difficult to maintain an online conversation with other users. That then leads people to write nasty or controversial posts just to get attention.

      N-Europe is old, and so are most of its members, so I appreciate it can be difficult for new people to join in and understand the dynamics. All I can suggest is that you be yourself, and be a bit more patient. Don't take things too personally if people don't reply to you - it happens to everyone. And try to use language you're comfortable with. On this post for example you asked if this site is 'generic in its execution', which seems more complicated than it needs to be. Simplify things a bit, be honest, and hopefully you'll have a better experience.

      That's cool, man. I appreciate the apology. Personal life issues have just been getting to me, so I've not been feeling 100% in a while. :) 

  9. OK... "Robert". 🎮
  10. OK, I keep hearing that the Xbox Series X is more powerful than the PS5 is, but I think most of the games I'm going to be interested in will probably end up being PS5 exclusives. So it looks like I'll have to get a PS5 for any future The Last of Us games, and also potentially for the Silent Hill reboot, which Dusk Golem claims is 100% happening. In fact, it could even make an appearance at Tokyo Game Show. Although for obvious reasons, that's going to be an online only event in September. I'm sure it's taken place around the 27th. Hopefully it's not gonna be like the recent Sony events where they showed off utter garbage. Years ago, I skipped the PS3 for the Xbox 360, but after my console went busted, I got a PS3. I seldom ever played games for a long time. In recent years, I remembered what I was missing. For a while, I wasn't interested in gaming much because I just had too much stress and personal shite going on. But I have played my PS3 a bit since, although I mostly play the PS4 today.
  11. Can someone reply to this post?
  12. A few weeks ago, the original (and best) Ghostbusters film was #1 at the U.S. box office again!
  13. "Gimpy", stop making multiple accounts with girly names, minutes after looking at somebody's posts elsewhere! :indeed:

  14. This game is about 25 to 30 hours long. Days Gone is still way longer. It took me 2 weeks to play through that. They both deserve Game of the Year awards, so make it happen, Naughty Dog!
  15. You act like my posts offend you in some way.
  16. I don't know why that needs its own game anyway. The first game had that as an extra mode. I also thought the second game was meant to have co-op from the start, which was what I was alluding to.
  17. Ethan Winters (the main protagonist from 7: Biohazard) returns as the primary character in the next RE sequel. It is another first person shooter for next gen consoles and Windows, which is really supposed to be RE8. Yet for some reason, Capcom have not fully wanted to refer to it as that, even though it is stylized as such in the promotional material... So the game is apparently set in Romania. Ethan is captured and taken there, for some as of yet unexplained reason. He has to fight werewolf type creatures and survive being hunted by a cult. According to the well known insider Dusk Golem, who has a Twitter account and is known for his survival horror gaming related leaks, Alex Wesker from Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will return as one of the main villains. Since she was last seen (as the little girl with an unusual ability, called Natalia Korda) living with Barry Burton, his daughter Moira, and Claire Redfield, I'm concerned that perhaps they are "killed off" somehow, and Chris (seen acting noticeably angry in the trailer and then shooting a woman in front of Ethan who looks to be his wife, Mia), is out for payback... What do you think of the game being in first person again? I can't say I'm daft on those type of games on a personal note. I'm more into third person games, but in this case, it does look quite atmospheric. However, Ethan isn't really that interesting of a character due to the fact you only hear his voice, and see his hands. People have seen his in-game model from hacking the files, so they know what he looks like. Unfortunately, Capcom seems reluctant to actually show him facially. Anyway... what do you think of all of this so far? In case you missed it, here is the trailer...
  18. You mean the PS4, right? I reckon Naughty Dog will release a separate 'factions' game. Ala, something a lot like the mercenaries mode in the RE games that got its own game eventually through high demand...
  19. I think Naughty Dog stated there would be no DLC. That's a pity, as I think they originally intended to include a multiplayer mode. I don't know if they meant the overall game, or just the battle mode type gameplay that was in the first one. But co-op in this type of game, if done properly, would be so peachy. 😎
  20. All the best, Fierce_LiNk. Will you be broadcasting online?
  21. Ah, man. "Too long, didn't read" = Johnny 5: need input. At least acknowledge what I said about the HBO series. 🤔 Nah, I am kidding. But still! 😜 Why do people moan so incessantly about the game's theme? "OMG. They did this and this and this! Meh, I hate Naughty Dog! I won't buy their games from now on. It hurts. Now I cannot go on. The self-destruct sequence begins in 0.5 seconds." 🐕 It's not supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows for these characters. It's a harsh world full of death and chaos where every hour could be your last (or last of us - ha). Plus, it's just like a certain famous TV show that does the same concept, VERY WELL, mind you. Or what about films, games and books that have used the same premise over and over again for years? Oh my God. Use your brains (directed at the haters only) because you have one for thinking. 🤭
  22. While the fans on Reddit get accused of being "haters" and whatnot, I've found that site to be quite articulate (not to mention, way more active) than 98% of all other lame forums I post on. They're sympathetic towards other fans who aren't happy about the outcome of the story and the supposed lying from Naughty Dog. Plus, there's forums on there for pretty much everything. Of course, do expect to encounter some bad moderators and arrogant members, just like on every other website. I did take a quick look on GameFAQs, and they're generally being open minded about the game as well. Like, some people don't like it over this, that and the third, but at least they're actually saying why that is. And yes, folks. To anybody who bullies Laura Bailey on social media due to Abby, that's just so wrong. She's a bloody professionally contracted voice actress. She doesn't need these online man babies threatening her life, all for playing a character who few people like. It's not real life. She's playing a part in a game. Duh! By the way, is anybody still interested in the upcoming HBO series? Would you be turned off by it if the story incorporated themes from the sequel as well as the original game? Well, maybe I would be, but I guess they have to stay faithful to the mediums that establish the lore. Unless it's like the Resident Evil live action movies, that totally disregard what occurs in the video games as being canonical.
  23. While I can see why the story bothered a lot of fans, it's like they put the plot over everything else this game achieved. Namely the awesome gameplay and stunning graphics. I think people just wanted the same sweetness of the original. Upon finding out it was anything but that, the floodgates were opened. It's sad that few users criticized the game normally. Although I can see why the false advertising was offensive too.
