#Okay this is the last post on the game

[jaythelay]

Ya play Resident Evil 4 to be in a good mood, really feel cool as hell.

Ya play the remake to be put into a piss poor mood.

Because god damn, this shit needed playtested.

I'm genuinely stunned they looked at the I-frame centric gameplay of the original and went "Let's put stunlocks in!!!!" and looked at the fun of the shooting range and went "Let's just fuck it all up!"

God this remake is miserable. But I'd be lying if I said it didn't occassional have gold, but that's the big problem for me, RE4 is Solid Gold beginning to End with VERY few imperfections. The remake was ON TRACK for that, but just...didn't, playtest. So many times I'm sitting there and going "How, did that, ever get past any amount of the most bog-standard playtesting."

A hiccup here and there, fine, but it's constant. Constantly your character simply ignores your inputs because a wall is slightly near by, actually demonstrably telling considering that shit you could get good at in the originals, if you're getting stuck, you're not moving good. From RE2RE, 3, and 4, they kept this bullshit where ALL control is removed from the player so it can play cinematic.

Like who the FUCK at capcom decided Leon shouldn't be able to run against a wall? Who PLAYS that and thinks "Oh yeah that's so cinematic" it's not! It looks ridiculous and is ever more frustrating when I get stunlocked because Leon decided the INVISIBLE WALL on the stairs is ACTUALLY too cinematic to IGNORE.

They go out of their way to make you hate Ashley, between her dogshit embarrassing coding and saying stupid shit, the ONE time I had ANY respect for her was in the knight room where she's ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING. Otherwise "look the banner came do-" I fucking know, you can't SKIP THAT CUTSCENE THRICE.

I want to enjoy the good elements but GOD if this game doesn't go out of it's way to put you in a bad mood. I genuinely don't think I've ever rage-quit RE4 in my entire life, no matter how dumb the way I got myself killed. That's because 100% of the game, you're in COMPLETE control.

Getting hit in the heel and stopping ALL momentum is somehow evermore frustrating in the remake because all you're trying to do is MOVE and the game has been actively FIGHTING that by taking it away.

Then there's a GOD DAMN ENEMY that TAKES ALL CONTROL AWAY.

WHAT

THE FUCK

HAPPENED!?!?

IT'S RESIDENT GOD DAMNED EVIL, THE GAME YOU LOOK AT, TO SEE WHAT GOOD CONTROLS ARE. GRANTED, that's because of great level design that keeps you from walking into walls for more than a mere second. Taking control away is genuinely just so antithetical to the entire SOUL of resident evil. Even RE6 as bad with controls as it got, DIDN'T take this much control away so damned often.

Aiming is an absolute joke. Spreading reticules works with zombies, not massive crowds of people. Nothing is better than landing a headshot in RE4 because it's not impossible and fully rewards you with a stun to the enemy. The remake, while I can appreciate what they were going for, it just isn't better than RE4's aiming. Because AGAIN, it comes down to how much control you have. Sure, the wobbling isn't the best but it's something you can actually get good at and understand. Like bullet spread in CSGO.

Ohhh and then BULLETS SOMETIMES JUST GO THROUGH ENEMIES. GO THROUGH RANDOM BLUE MEDALLIONS. It's so god damned frustrating man, how did they fuck that up?

It really does come close to being genuinely great! An actual replacement of the original in some manners, but god if it just didn't hamper itself with poor design and shit just not working. I had an enemy SPAWN UNDER THE MAP once before, how...did that...Why.

Oh and I HATE the system for weapon switching. In theory, it's great! I can switch weapons at a touch of a button, except if you press it twice. In which case, you get something random! Because nobody is going to fucking use 8, god damned, slots. You simply do not have enough space for all that shit nor need all that shit. So, lemme put it to you this way, you press 1, you get the gun on 1, you press 1 AGAIN, and you get number 5. Number...5. From pressing 1 twice. Help. Help the player- crapcom, Help, the player. Don't fuck em. Why...this. Other than it MAY work better with a controller- but even then, even then, it's just stupid. I never remember what grenades are mapped to what, and I only remember 1-3, because you're ONLY EVER GONNA HAVE AT MOST 4 GUNS, and I don't need a sniper rifle so guess what goes in the box and not number god damned 1+1=5!

It's a game that, if the higher-ups just kept their fingers out of the food, it wouldn't be so gross to consume. The microtransactions being snuck in after everyone's reviews is just overwhelmingly disgusting. Like, no, I'm not eating the food because you rubbed your sweaty hands on it, it was fine before you fucked it up. Imagine everytime Crapcom does this from here on, they're rubbing your perfectly good just served warm food with their oil covered fingers. Would you eat it? No. Because you respect yourself and know to demand better for yourself and others.

It was so, so close. Crapcom almost had an actual artistic work of perfection like RE4, but no! No. Hampered by streamlining for wider audiences, hampered by faux difficulty, hampered by just stupid ideas, and hampered by some bugs that shouldn't even exist in any fuckin' SP shooter. The flaws of RE4RE don't exist in RE4, who's genuine main problem is requiring the HD project and the PC inventory controls.

I can't stress how much I just WANT to love this fucking game but it just refuses it. It goes out of it's way VERY OFTEN to just make me go 'The fuck is happening? Why is he not responding to inputs?'

I'm not even sure if it's...worth comparing the games, because they're so radically different in character, tone, visuals, story, theming, fuck, it's seriously just a re-imagining that's desperate for you to be grossed out by the visuals and clunkiness that regardless, is flawless in execution from beginning to end. It's hard not to compare a flawed gem to a perfect gem, when you can see straight through one and the other is too murky to make anything out the other side. But it bothers me because, It was almost great! Perfect even! It was so close! But the flaws man. They just aren't ignorable. I can ignore having to use PgUp and PgDn to rotate items, shit becomes second nature after a while, but actively taking control from the player is MIND NUMBINGLY frustrating. Ashley being such a good example of What Not To Do with something similar to RE4.

For one, Ashley should NEVER be why the player dies unless it's genuinely their fault. Ashley is ALWAYS behind you, always mere inches away, and you can, in fact, aim at her, and instead of Leon PULLING HIS FUCKING GUN UP, she'd just...crouch. Because it worked. She can crouch AND walk in the remake BUT SHE NEVER GOD DAMNED DOES BOTH, she runs around at PURE random there is NO way of controlling her, it's like a broken physics object is stuck to the player bouncing around at random. And again, aiming at her RAISES THE GUN. That's just...bad, so bad. Don't take control away from the player man! Why!? She's running in front of me so often that I seriously can do nothing but throw a damn flashbang most of the time. And then you can shoot and kill her if someone is carrying her away! Why!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? You've committed to the bad bit! Why double down on making it EVEN WORSE!?!??

Instead of even TRYING with her, even trying to find a better system than god damned reticles vs lasers, they just compromise ALOT for these things. Instead of making headshots near always stun, it's now after the first shot, maybe second, but even that's too much for crapcom, so instead of finding a way to make the stun shots work better, they just make your aim worse. Awful. Instead of just having ashley stay by leon and be behind him most of the time, they make her invincible until hit twice. Like....that's not. Good. That's not good design, that's flagrantly poor, below amateur even, as amateur implies effort.

It's not just small stuff that adds up. Thankfully I'm okay with all the changes to basically everything with some handful of exceptions. I'm usually staunchly against re-imaginings but I can say the story and characters did have the love and effort behind them to the point it's impossible to say "I hate the characters" because I simply love them. Except Ada. My. God. What happened, did the VA know what acting was? Did the director point a gun to their head and tell them to do the worst job imaginable?

I dunno, but what I do know is the use of Crows also pisses me off. Why bother having them drop anything if most of the time, they don't? And you set them up in places where if you kill them where YOU placed them, they won't drop anything, but if you let them fly a bit, they do? Why even have crows if you're not even going to try with them. Why make ANY drop items when the fat majority of the time, they don't drop anything and thus, wasted ammo. Don't get me started on FAKE crows, who's idea, was that??? My god. Then there's respawning crows literally just by moving a bit and turning the camera sometimes.

I absolutely love the treasure and request system, it's just an upgrade from RE4 in every way. But I can't say the same for customization, as simply put, having to change charms just to repair a knife, repair armor, sell fish, buy resources, and lower costs of upgrades, it's tedious going back and forth and having to remember what I have and then having to go through multiple menus- it's too much man. A far better system, one that'd kill the god awful shooting range, is make them permanent, and make them scattered, and make them limited.

Three times in the story, just have the trader sell certain charms, you can only choose one, and later, it repeats twice more. Badda Bing badda boom, you got interesting gameplay decisions that actually matter throughout the game. Not just when you're at the trader, or out and about. An Upgrade to your Case you can buy from the merchant, hmm, guess no system of the past could've been expanded upon there.

Oh and I LOVE Chapters 3-4 (I think, the parts just before heading to the church) this is what made me completely fall for the game, it was PERFECT. God damn GREAT, some of the BEST gameplay modern gaming has ever given in fuckin' DECADES at this point. Seriously it's Top of the Line shit. Just sucks the rest of the game couldn't keep that momentum. That being said, the pacing of this game throughout? MMM PERFECT. Doesn't matter how bad Ashley and some sections get, the pacing is downright tweaked to it's limits. Fantastic.

But not being able to use the laser on every gun is honestly just kinda...dumb? I'm perfectly fine with just having ONE laser sight that can be equipped to one gun at any moment, and I imagine they decided against this because switching parts every gun switch would probably get frustrating. Never-the-less, I think it should've been an upgrade for most weapons, not all, like, shotguns don't really need a laser, the tommy gun, while it'd feel better to use with one, doesn't need it either, sniper rifles too though I'd argue being able to change a sniper rifle from scoped aiming to laser aiming would just be wonderful fun.

Really, it just gets under my skin because of what I've already said before. It was so close, and the original is actual perfection. Seeing the game in this state, with CEO grease on the gourmet that could've been, it just...sucks man. Guess that's all ya can say. I feel like RE2/3RE kind've hampered the game's potential by relying on it's basis so strongly, when it was never designed for the sheer speed of RE4's situations. It DOES make efforts to mold away from it but the foundation it was built on just wasn't meant for it. From aiming to movement. And this is it. There will never be another chance. I'd like to say, I appreciate what's there, but I can't appreciate the greasy finger molds upon my mashed potatoes. If they're not willing to finger the food when served, but after everyone's done eating, announce they fingered all the food eaten, imagine what the behind the scenes was like.

I swear to you this, a developer had a gun to his head standing in defiance of Crapcom higher up's effort of unintentional sabotage. Many devs died standing up to crapcom's insistence that certain features get cut or gimped. I feel the ghosts of their spirited wills lingering in many areas and aspects of this game, it really feels like it just barely got to the point of decency by the skin of their teeth at many, many moments. I mean shit man, they cut Seperate Ways out because of course, of course the free content is DLC now, and of course, Mercenaries wasn't in the game either.

Because they had to sneak Micro-transactions and triple quadruple uber doubled omelette dip into your wallet even further. Lemme guess, the Old OST is DLC right? They're selling a single pistol too, huh? Costumes and accessories too? Thank god for Piracy.

I just checked and the Single Player game that once was a complete experience is actually

Fucking reprehensible. They SOLD THE FUCKING CASE TRINKETS???? ARE YOU FUCKIN-

Oh yeah that's right! There's a TON of DLC that's just cheats! From better weapons to a treasure map. Oh my god I was right, they did sell the guns separately! Oh my god! That's so embarrassing. HOly shit please just Pirate this. Don't enable this.

Update on the French protests: we've had a well-known expert in contemporary political history call the situation we're in "the worst democracy crisis France has known since [the end of the 4th Republic]" and meanwhile the government is trying its hardest to maintain a façade of normal functioning by a) hiding from protesters, b) hiding protesters from view, and c) banning saucepans and other means of drawing attention to the protests that are being swept under the rug.

I mean casserolades are an old tradition in this country but they wouldn't have been needed if Macron &co hadn't started almost systematically banning protests in entire districts of the towns they visit and setting up police roadblocks to prevent peaceful protesters from going anywhere near them. (Too bad because these are the kinds of images the media get (these 2 are from Le Monde) when protesters get to talk to Macron <3) :

Protesters corralled away where they can be easily ignored started banging pots and pans so the protest could at least be heard in the background of TV footage, and then pans started being confiscated.

French courts have repeatedly struck down the bans as illegal but police prefects keep churning new bans out every time Macron goes somewhere anyway, trying to publish them at the last minute so there's no time for a judicial review. (I saw a sign at a protest last week that went "Stop with all the bans we no longer have time to disobey all of them")

After boldly banning saucepans by calling them "portable sonorous devices" last week, today a police prefecture banned "festive gatherings of a musical nature" in a town Macron will be visiting tomorrow. They're (ab)using counter-terrorist legislation for all this, so these days we get to read unheard-of court rulings that go like "We are suspending this prefectural decree as we do not consider festive gatherings of a musical nature to pose a significant terrorist threat to the President."

If Macron had people showing up in support I don't think we would see so many pissy protest bans because then the media could show backers vs. opponents and things would look normal (and not like 70% of the country is very pissed off with Macron). But there's not much for them to show if they don't show the angry people banging pans and it clearly rankles Macron—we learnt yesterday that he sent a letter to 200,000 political supporters of his essentially ordering them to start making appearances all over the country, to show they are "proud of what you are and of what our country has become [since I got elected]." That seems a bit desperate.

For months Macron &co have been predicting that people would get tired of taking to the streets in large numbers, and now that people are going like—right, let's try a new strategy, small local protests greeting gov members everywhere they go!—we're hearing a clear "no not like that, that's not what we meant :l " reaction from the government.

They've also been trying the strategy of announcing stuff at the last minute, like on Monday the Minister of Education announced at noon that he would visit a higher learning institution in Lyon 2 hours later, and a hundred of protesters still showed up and tried to force their way into the building. They were held off by cops using tear gas and trying to block entrances (there's a pic that made me smile, showing cops trying to barricade university gates with garbage bins—how the tables have turned...!) and the Minister ended up not showing up and moving on to the next step of his schedule (protesters tried to follow him there but police vans were blocking the street.)

The first half of the video is at the uni in Lyon; the second half is in Paris later that day. When he returned to Paris the Minister was greeted by protesters with saucepans at the train station, it's like a national relay race of protesting at times. He had to go back through the train to leave via the other end of the platform under police escort so as not to meet any protesters (god forbid).

Macron commented that this was "uncivic" behaviour and I agree, civic behaviour on the part of gov members would be to at least face the people they choose to fuck over, instead of hiding behind cops and fleeing. Obviously Macron was condemning the 'uncivic' protesters though, and the Minister said he felt "physically threatened" by the "violence of [the protesters'] speech" which is a shit thing to say considering on the same day that he was mildly inconvenienced by having to take a different exit and felt physically endangered by words, yet another protester was mutilated after being shot at by police with a rubber bullet. Not a peep about this incident (or previous ones) from the government. The Minister of Education never even condemned that time high schoolers trying to protest got tear gassed and threatened with riot guns by cops in front of their school earlier this month.

But while people continue protesting despite the actual violence from cops, our ministers are looking pretty scared of citizens banging pots and pans. Here's a list of official visits that got cancelled "for safety reasons" (saucepan terrorism) in the past week:

1. Minister P. NDiaye cancelled a visit in Lyon 2. Minister F. Braun cancelled a visit to Evrard Hospital 3. Minister Delegate O. Klein cancelled a visit in Bobigny 4. Minister Delegate O. Grégoire cancelled a visit in La Baule 5. Minister S. Guerini cancelled a visit in Castelnau 6. Secretary of State B. Couillard cancelled a visit in Rochefort 7. Minister S. Retailleau cancelled a visit to the Paris Saclay University (electricity trade unionists cut the power in the building she was supposed to inaugurate, so) 8. Minister C. Grandjean cancelled a visit in Toulouse (this article says it was probably because the visit was quite near a big highway protest where protesters among other things were building a concrete wall on a national road)

In the same bullshitting vein as "portable sonorous devices", gov spokespeople have been insisting that visits aren't being cancelled, ministers are just "adjusting the course of their trips" which is funny to me. I guess we never beheaded any royalty we just adjusted the course of their necks. I also read a newspaper article that made me laugh, that went like "Minister cancels visit; trade unions disappointed" and I thought it was because the cancelled visit was a meeting with the unions which they wouldn't get to have, but the article said it was actually because they had a good protest planned and wouldn't get to hold it...

Watching protesters mess with the government in small ways on a daily basis has been good for morale—on Twitter the hashtags #IntervillesMacron and #IntervillesduZbeul popped up (zbeul = chaos, mess, and Intervilles was a TV game show that aired for over 50 years, where French cities competed against one another in goofy challenges). I only mentioned cancellations above, but fun things also happen on non-cancelled government visits, like a Minister having to leave a building via the emergency exit because of protesters blocking the building entrance (which some people argued is worth more points than a cancellation as it's more entertaining):

Various websites were created to keep track of all these smaller protests and to officialise the point system that ranks cities on their efforts to fuck with the government:

(the first symbol means a protest, the second means a casserolade, the last one means protesters managed to get inside a building where a visit was taking place)

(Translation: Ruckus (saucepans, heckling...) 1pt Protest: 1pt Creative action (chasing minister in the woods, etc): 2pts Measures of energy conservation (= power cuts by unions) 3pts Action that leads to a political figure fleeing: 4pts Cancellation of a visit: 5pts — then there's a weighting system where the score is multiplied by 3 if it's a Minister, by 5 if it's the Prime Minister, by 6 if it's Macron.) (I also saw an interesting debate on Twitter this week—since our leaders often embarrass themselves, how should the government's own goals fit into the point system?)

Right now the Hérault department is winning because on top of protests, power cuts and casserolades, protesters greeted Macron with a giant "MACRON FUCK OFF" sign hung from a cliff (!) and took over a highway display so it'd say "Welcome to [region] Butthole Ist"

These past few days I've been discovering unknown French cities (and Ministers) thanks to them showing up in the hashtag after a good protest. I discovered a mediaeval castle I'd never heard of when unions hung banners featuring our most famous revolutionary dates from the castle's battlements. (Two days later, another protest with eloquent banners in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris:)

People are very creative—last week we heard that protesters got prosecuted for giving Macron the finger and insulting him during one of his official visits (< we are a healthy democracy), so protesters in another region tried a more sarcastic approach, and greeted a deputy from Macron's party at a strawberry fair this week with clapping and confetti and "Thank you for making us work 2 more years, thank you for police repression, thank you!" The deputy beat a hasty retreat. Then said he would file a complaint against the harassment and intimidation he had been subjected to. (The tear gas and riot guns and arrests and protest bans are not intimidation of protesters on the other hand. Or the fact that another deputy from his party recently said on TV that they were "ready for war"... They're ready to wage war, but run and hide when people clang saucepans and throw confetti.)

Anyway. I'm enjoying the fact that they can't even attend a small strawberry fair without getting heckled right now. In one of my first posts about the political crisis in March I wrote something like "How will Macron and his gov have any legitimacy to speak about any issues after this?" and it cheers me up to see a lot of people across the country agree that they have no legitimacy to talk about anything, not even the strawberry harvest.

The next nationwide protest is of course for May 1st, but in the meantime it's been really fun following the smaller protest actions all over the place. Members of government & Macron's party keep making whiny statements along the lines of this is terrorist behaviour, we can't go anywhere, why are people not getting tired of fucking with us and the answer is, because it's really entertaining!

This was the last sentence of a recent Le Monde article about Macron's situation and it has such a sinister, end-of-reign tone:

"I'm moving forward," Macron concluded, on April 20th in the Herault department, while behind his back echoed the sound of saucepans.

#frpol #well this is another very long post and it features maybe 40% of all the shit from the past week #like there was another popular hashtag last week that went ''no retraction [of the reform] no olympic games'' #and the police prefect of Paris said ''the closer we get to the Olympics the more we will saturate public space with police'' #okay! good atmosphere so far

“Did you figure out what you’re doing for grad trip yet?” Duke asks. “He’s going mothman hunting,” Dick says. “With Bernard. And Kon.” “Have so much fun,” Steph says with an evil glint in her eye that Tim chooses not to think too hard about. “You invited your best friend on a road trip with your boyfriend?” Jason asks, giving Tim just the most judgemental look. “I—” Tim starts. “No, Bernard invited him,” Dick says. “Well,” Jason says. “Have fun I guess.” He says it in the same way a person might say, “your funeral,” or “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” and Tim has no idea why. “There’s something wrong with all of you,” Tim says. OR, Tim, Kon, and Bernard go Mothman hunting. It doesn't end the way any of them expects.

I found a interesting game and I wanted to introduce it to others too sooo I decided to start and change it a bit

You're starring in a movie with the last character in your photo gallery, and the last song you listened to is the title of the movie! Who and what did you get? ( Bonus: Add what you think the plot is!! )

Here's mine!

(I was listening to a cover of the song, it's originally by Jung Eun-ji)

I think the title "Blue Whale" somehow makes sense since, well, Azul is a merman. I also actually have a blue whale plushie :D But I have no clue what the plot could be sjdjksf Judging from the lyrics of the song, it could probably be a coming of age movie... Maybe

i feel like smth not touched on enough is how,,, genuine astarion is for the very first rest.

he asks the player for confirmation that this is where theyre all stopping for the night and his eyes are so wide and his tone is so light

first bit of info he’ll divulge about himself is that hes not used to curling up in the dirt, and that it’s “a little novel” with this sort of amused exhale of air and lilt at the end like hes still incredulous

if you tell him to give it a try hes like aha nope! i need time to do some hard thinkin and process all of this and it comes across as he says it that hes still processing

and the way he says “you sleep, i’ll keep watch” is so very genuine imo.

and if you thank him, it’s like he realizes that by being nice/courteous he can get the player to like him more, so ONLY THEN does he turn on the charm. at the very end on the conversation.

Colors swirling in the air like oil stains in a holographic puddle. They form shapes around one single golden orb, which is floating in the middle of the mistlike essence.

ice cold take, perhaps even a below freezing cold take but if you see someone going "i like x character" and/or "i like x character over y character" and you extrapolate any sort of moral failing on their part for that statement alone (key word. alone). well. put on your clown suit.

#ask game #okay i think this is the last one #if u guyswanna send more u can.... #but that's that for now #“i like x character” = an absolute neutral statement #i remember seeing these scattered posts that wer elike “this person think X is a WORSE PERSON than Y???” #and then the og post was like “i find x a more interestinng character than y” #which. *sniffle* some of u are so bad at reading

why is twisted wonderland like "i am going to ruin your life maybe destroy your worldview a little bit <3 i am going to make you get attatched to these ridiculously named anime boy versions of disney characters and then watch them go through every trauma imaginable that keeps getting progressively worse and more complex as we keep going. i am going to fundamentally change you for better or worse and you will never be able to watch a disney movie again without thinking of me. i am going to make you watch as these awkward teens navigate through Evil Highschool and you have to find Your place in it, knowing fully well that, at the end, after all of that, you will leave all your friends and return to your own world alone again" but also "omg hey girl do you want to see your babygirl as a bunny or a plushie perhaps? say yes"

#or maybe you're normal about your interests #in which case please teach me because i am in shambles #chatter #actually though i've never really met someone who just casually enjoyed twst?? #even my irl friend who plays twst is More casual than Me but even so they are so crazy about new lilia and malleus and ortho and idia card #like we sat there and analyzed every detail on the masquerade outfits #and then i know people who are not actively playing the game but will go 'i was just thinking about leona and vil' or ' #'i miss idia i hope he is okay :3' #tbh who ISN'T more casual than me?? #like. obsession-wise. not gameplay-wise. bc i am not grinding All The Time #but i have like. 2 entire sketchbooks (probably the first that i have ever filled the entire way) that are JUST twst #kinda cringe but whateverrrrr #anyways i started an azjm comic at like 10 last night and i am not done yet but i'm WORKING ON IT #kept drawing lilia but i'm not posting because i Messed Up #twst spoilers
