Brian Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 IGN has to update RE2 review because it hires only the best.

Brian Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 One of my gripes with Resident Evil 2 turned out to be a misunderstanding. We have updated the review accordingly. Sorry for the confusion. But to be clear, the 2nd Game mode isn't "the other half of the game." There is very little new in it. https://t.co/OTimvhqB0w — DAEMON (@DaemZero) January 23, 2019 And yet the review score changed to a 9 “even though little is new”. #NeverChangeIGN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's a short game and they couldn't even handle reporting on its content correctly, I give that a 3.8/10. Edit: Since the review has been edited accordingly and all tomfoolery is cleared up, I raise my score to 3.9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Love Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I loved the demo and never played the original RE2, but after reading the reviews this Mr. X thing is making me not want the game. I don't like the idea of an unkillable character following me around the entire game. That is not the type of survivor horror game I enjoy. I want to at least be able to fight back. Do you think this one part will ruin the experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So this didn’t unlock right at 9 so I didn’t have a lot of time to play it, in fact I didn’t play it at all. I fired it up and there were a couple of image calibration screens (they really want it to look dark 😱) Then I fiddled with the graphics settings which there appeared to be an impressive amount of. You can even push texture limits past your vram levels (some bugs may occur it warns) for the record I’ll be turning off motion blur and chromatic aberration. So by the time I was finished with that I had to go to work, gotta wait 8 hours now before I dive in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I've played about 2 1/2 hours tonight and so far no Mr. X stalking. The game moves at a pretty brisk pace so I think that's a decent amount. I gotta say I like it a lot but there are some pretty big annoyances here for me so far. It's almost entirely devoid of music yet is very quiet at once. There isn't an intense ambient layer of sound really is what I mean so it just feels oddly quiet. Even the save room theme played literally only once for maybe 20 seconds, that's it, it never repeats again so far. Just feels weird overall and switching to Classic OST now and then to see how it compares, it's immediately cooler each time. While I love the zombie behavior and overall difficulty, some of them really take too much to go down. Landing 6 critical hit headshots and it gets up again isn't scary or intimidating, it just feels annoying at that point. It's gladly not super common but it happens enough where it started annoying me a bit. I stopped shortly after the first boss for now. Won't have time to play again for two days or so I think?

Whoever you chose to play as first got the 'A' scenario, then after beating the game, you got to play the other character's 'B' scenario, which dealt with Mr. X. I don't know if they did that this time around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I just played for about an hour and a half, and I'm soooooooo glad I blacked myself out for this one. I had my headphones on and the jump scares have been pretty good and unexpected. Having a female zombie scream in my ear immediately after going through a door practically made me piss myself. It's been a long time since I've had a game suck me in like this. I know that most of that is because I'm a huge RE fan, but seriously, I haven't felt tension in a survival horror game in years. RE7 had a few jumps, but nothing sustained. This game just makes me nervous walking down a hallway, and that tension is sustained from room to room. You're no longer safe just running and zig-zagging through a room. Now that the fucking things follow you. I had a one-armed police zombie follow me out of one room, down a hallway, and into another room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them take as many as six or seven, and on other occasions I've shot once or twice and their head exploded. It all seems to be pretty random. I'm playing on normal though, not hardcore. I thanked the great gaming gods the day Capcom went away from ink ribbons, and I'm never going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Spoiler He goes away after you make it to a certain point with a certain item, but until you hit that sweet spot he will be endlessly hunting you. Even if you lose him, sounds you cause make him aware of your location so he will keep finding you. But that isn't the only time he will hound you.

Xbob42 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Yeah, zombies take a lot to go down. Don't try to permanently down every zombie you come across. That's just crazy. Put down zombies in rooms you'll be frequenting, don't worry, even on hardcore there's a shitton of ammo. Don't play it like you're playing the original game. It's not that game and trying to make it that game is only going to frustrate you. Adapt to the changes! You're not here to wipe out the zombie infestation! That was actually one of my biggest problems with the series. The zombies were a huge threat that wiped out a city and you, a rookie, show up and clean up house. Now it's not quite that simple. You can fuck up and make rookie mistakes like trying to pop every head you come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can fuck up and make rookie mistakes like trying to pop every head you come across. I stopped Hardcore and just did normal for now. I can't stand not killing everything or at least the majority of things on my first play-thru. And Hardcore is mostly just running. And felt like I had LOADS of ammo until the first boss fight. That plus lickers really fucked up my ammo count. And I don't even know if I did the boss right. I wasted so much ammo, I feel, despite hitting the weak spot. On my second play-thru I'll have no issue ignoring enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
