Poll of the Day > I don't know if I can finish Resident Evil HD. Too Scary.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've never really been this afraid to play a game before. I love horror movies/shows and never really get scared. I probably feel more uneasy/scared during games, because to me, games are more immersive.

The only two games that even come close to REHD for me, that I've played, are bloodborne and RE4. Bloodborne is more creepy than scary (although sometimes scary), with the constant moaning/wailing and banging. Still, I wasn't really all that scared since I had a means of attack, and could kill enemies pretty easily.

RE4 just has some crazy looking monsters/zombies that are strong, and a few jump scares, iirc, but you get so much ammo in the game that you feel pretty powrful (not as OP as you are in RE5, but still decently strong).

REHD has those scary camera angles, and the music is frightening, and the zombies take so many hits to kill, and you don't have a surplus of ammo. Just the whole game is super scary to me.

It's weird because the game is super addicting, yet scary as hell at somepoints. I feel so conflicted playing it.

Bloodborne was terrible anyway. RE is hardly scary. Few jump scares at best. Silent Hill or Fatal Frame are way better. Outlast wasn't bad either although I've yet to play the sequel.

Nah. There weren't any bosses in the first area because the sewers wouldn't unlock. Gave it 2 or 3 hours then tossed it aside to play GTA5. Never went back.

That's wrong. It's more about bad design. I had no problem with the villager zombies. After clearing them out at least twice I found I wasn't gaining levels. Nothing new was appearing in the shop. Locked paths weren't opening. I was wasting my time on something totally overhyped. And since I'd made up my mind that GTA was on the backlog too long I switched games and GTA was great.

You can get to a boss in like 10-20 minutes.

Well, I guess the game isn't linear, but here's where I'm at *spoilers*

i have not left the mansion (I'm assuming you do at some point).Ihave a death mask. I just got the grenade launcher. I'm trying to get the serum to my hurt ally (forgot his name). Forrest is back from the dead.

I'm playing the game as indicated as possible, which as you can imagine, is kinda hard to do for such a popular, old game.

I haven't played it, but I do have it on steam. Maybe I'll try it out.

Yes, a few of them lol. The first one appeared when I was trying to burn it's body lmao.

Another one nearly gave me a heart attack around a blind corner. They're fast, but they honestly seem easier to avoid than the regular zombies in smaller hallways, and their attacks aren't as strong (unless you can somehow break a zombies grab without using a defense weapon).

I didn't want to sit through an online walkthrough. Besides, having a lot of players doesn't save it. Millions play CoD and I have no respect for a single one of 'em. BB was just poorly designed by locking so much of the game behind finding a boss. I mean you couldn't even go online when you start out. It felt like a friggin demo.

I played Demons but not the Dark games so that might have something to do with it. BB looked better on the box by claiming to be more action oriented. Oh well.

Oh hell no. Smoking and drinking are too expensive.

If you think RE HD is scary, don't play Silent Hill unless you have a box of adult diapers at the ready.

Man, do I wish they would give that game the HD treatment... Oh right, Konami... never mind...

Wha? I made a side comment about a crappy game and ya'll go crazy. What about the part where Fatal Frame and Silent Hill are better? RE turned to crap at part 4 when they made it a FPS. Revelations was ok though, haven't played anything past that yet.

I need attention, plz guys

Honestly, I might give SH a brief go around.

I've always been more interested in RE though. I like capcom, and the series just seemed cooler for whatever reason (I have nothing to base that on, though).

Point wasn't how many people played BB as much as how many people played it and figured it out for themselves. Many played BB without a guide and got on just fine. But please, tell us more about how developers should tailor their games to fit snugly around your inadequacies.

I played a demo of the first Silent Hill game. It creeped me out.

I played a bit of Silent Hill 2, the sound the weird moving monsters make creeps me out.

Honestly I think SH4 was probably the most creepy to me even though it's one of the worst in the series.

I think the homebase mechanic and ghost mechanics really took me for a loop.

'Many' isn't a very clear number. If you want to waste days trying to figure out a game then great. I have way too much else to play to fart away a week on 'world 1'. If I wanted a puzzle game I'd have chosen something else.

Don't get me wrong it's not that I support the extra hand-holding some games offer. I started on the NES and can appreciate tougher games. However I'm not going to write excuses for a poorly designed game that decided to be vague not for challenge but just to be annoying. At least if it was linear then I'd have something to work with. Here you just go in circles, not making ANY kind of progress for my effort. All I managed was buying armor, stockpile potions for a game that never started, and earn ammo for a gun that did absolutely nothing. No maps, no items, no NPC's, no online, no levels, no fun.

My guess is this game launched during a time where people wanted to brag about it versus what XB had. XB never had anything and BB wasn't good enough to ever brag about. And it takes a special kind of dud for me to put a game away before seeing the credits. I'm talking like less than 5% of games I start.

Ok, THIRD person shooter. Ya happy? All I'm saying is RE lost its touch when we gave up the residence and item management. Now you blast away at everything that moves and we already have too much of that.

I will say I have high hopes for RE7 when I get around to playing it. Not sure I should bother with 6. It's one of the leftovers on PS3.

And you're no longer playing as people who just happen to come across a situation. Now they can and are actually prepared for things.

You're trying to take this in a different direction. You seem to be forgetting that this whole thing started because you admitted that you're terrible at the game and seem to blame your complete inability to figure the game out - where others have figured it out just fine - on the developers and "poor design". It's not the game. It's you. If you weren't completely awful, you could find a boss within the first hour, easily. If you're halfway decent at the game, you could find a boss in half that time. Funny you bring up how you wish the game were more linear. It's not exactly a maze with branching paths. Some of the routes you take circle back to earlier areas, but it's not hard to figure out where you need to go, if you have any sense to you.

I type FPS way more than TPS, so I think given the context we know what we're talking about.

You're taking this way too seriously. RE isn't a simulation. I'm going by the gameplay from the original titles, that's what I'm looking for from RE. It was almost replaced with Dead Space until EA pulled the same crap by going all shooter with it. This is why I say RE has boiled down to your generic zombie hunting game and if you want something creepy you need to look elsewhere.

RE4 was too much a departure, kinda like Doom 3 compared to the first two. Plus it annoyed me because there was a lot of shooting and I HATE using analogs for those kinds of games. I didn't get my Aimon until the PS3 gen where RE4 was on GC.

Oh ok, so you want every game to be just like the first 2 and for nothing, even the world building, to go beyond that.

How many people think RE4 is one of the best RE games in the series?

Stop trying to protect a bad game. It's not my fault. I have years of experience with a huge variety of games so trying to blame me isn't going to work. The part of the game that was unlocked wasn't hard at all. It wasn't until I was partway into GTA that someone said the first boss is literally an easter egg hidden behind some secret blocked off side path. I probably walked by it once or twice. If I need to waste days scouring for a tiny path or rush to a walkthrough for the first area then yeah I'm going to blame bad design.

It's like giving people a word search and not telling them the words to look for. Big difference between 'challenge' and 'vague because we can and F you'. So when I weigh my choices between BB or moving on to better games like UC4, MGS5, Farcry 4, Doom, Last Guardian, or other major games I've not gotten to yet like Horizon, RE7, Hitman, Dishonored 2, Breath of the Wild, etc, it was easy to dump BB to the dud pile.

That's just it. Everything led back to the same point so I knew I wasn't missing anything. A few gates opened, important ones stayed locked. Still, if I was at least earning something for my repeated trips through the campfire area then maybe I'd have stuck around longer. I saw it all in the first hour or so. The remainder of the 3 hours was stuck on repeat.

"Just like"? No. Games do change a little over time. What I'm not fond of is a radical departure from what the series is known for. RE4 wasn't anywhere near 1/2/3. Jak 1 was a great platformer. Jak 2/3 were weak action games. Doom 3 was closer to Fear than D1/2. Stuff like that.

Probably just the people who started on 4. Granted, if you went backwards then the tank controls are going to suck. You'd have to have played them in order to know what I mean. Then like I keep saying I have high hopes that RE7 is a return to its roots.

As for the main topic if you guys doubt me then look up my trophy card. I finished Demon's Souls. Completed Furi, TxK (Vita), Gungeon with 2 characters. Been through a lot.

Perhaps where my skills are better on reflex games or platformers, those who thought BB was good had the extra experience from the 3 Dark Souls games. I skipped those and wouldn't know the clues (if any) they put out. Then I'll be honest and say I started BB without waiting for the patch to finish in case that added some extras like missing boss characters.

Silent Hill would eat you alive, brother.

It's fine if you dislike the game. But claiming the game is designed poorly just because you're incapable of doing what thousands, if not millions, of others have done is just a shit excuse. The game itself, while not perfect, is designed well enough to have earned accolades from critics and gamers alike. You're too inept to figure the game out.

Nah I have it so 0%'s don't show up. There were a bunch of VR demos that were taking up space on my PS4 list so I cleaned it out.

It's the same name I'm using here. I thought 'whoa' when I saw your 700+ games but it doesn't look like you finish much.

We've been over this. It's not me. The person above says it takes a few days to figure out. How is that ok? Again if you want to run to a walkthrough or waste days trying to sort out bad design decisions, then that's you. Sure I'm disappointed I spent money on a game that went nowhere but it's silly to suffer with junk when I have so much more ahead. Bad means bad.

Oh and not only that when I first had this discussion elsewhere there was a rumor there's actually more than one boss in the first level. Due to bad design again, this boss doesn't actually let you advance to the second area. How is THAT ok? It's seriously like they sat down to come up with ways to screw gamers over and keep everyone from getting into it. No items, no levels, fake bosses, the 'real' boss is hidden like an easter egg, and well I named these problems earlier.

I don't mind some long games although I cut back on RPG's because my backlog is out of control. How long did it take before the game actually started doing something interesting?

After so many years of gaming the one thing that bugs me the most is not making progress. Either failing and repeating long areas, going in circles, extended cutscenes, whatever results in my time not gaining anything.
