It just got cracked this week πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

This is just awful...atrocious... how do I avoid seeing this in the wild?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, waiting on a deep sale for this one.

I did that for the RE4 remake and picked it up for $16 yesterday.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

And that was an actual remake, not just a 14 years late PC port.

If you haven't played 2 hours of it yet, you should consider refunding and waiting for a humble bundle. Resident Evil is packaged there quite often with nearly the full series of games being about $25 or so sometimes, short of the most recent one, whichever it happens to be.

I have the 2016 port of the game already and that had poor controller support so, unless the bundled one is the remake, I think I'm alright paying $16 for it.

In addition to that when it first came out on PS2 and GameCube I beat the game inside out half dozen times, so this game has some sentimental value.

I'm playing it right now and I'm almost done. I think it's the best remake I ever played. They preserved what was good and reworked what was bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hm. That’s good to hear. I got stuck somewhere pretty early in the game and wasn’t even invested enough to figure it out. I’ll have to give it another shot soon because honestly I was bored.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It's not for everyone I guess. But if you liked the original, I think you'll enjoy the remake.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People will and are buying it anyway. It will go on sale very soon once sales slow down. They know it isn't worth that much, but they know idiots will buy it anyway.

Then once it's 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% off, people will think they are getting a deal, even though it still isn't worth that much. Rockstar know exactly what they are doing.

I dunno, probably not worth it for someone who has it on consoles, but as someone with no consoles newer than gamecube, I'll wait for a discount.
