Nice! It's good so far

[Tom4784]

Yup, I got mine from Shopto, they always deliver pre-orders early.

[Tom4784]

I came across the first licker earlier.

Spoiler:

I was surprised how lowkey it's entrance was, might have been more of a fright if I didn't spot it on the ceiling before it scooped the body up though.

I've managed to get a decent chunk further I think, I've beaten Birkin for the first time, met Ada and Ben, powered up the basement, returned to the police station and now I'm on the hunt for the last electric box to get into Ben's cell and grab the keycard. I've not encountered Mr. X yet but judging by Ben's scene, he's not far off.

Oh, I had to kill Marvin too </3 poor Marvin, at least he got a bigger role this time around.

I'm REALLY enjoying it. I'm gonna keep blasting away at it and hopefully complete Leon's campaign over the weekend in time for Kingdom Hearts 3, after which I'll go back and do the rest of the campaigns.

[Barry.]

My brother ordered the Leon statue one and a normal one. I am getting the normal one.

[Toy Soldier]

I can't get things early no mo' because I can no longer be arsed with physical media so I just download everything . I'd rather pay the extra not to faff with discs .

[Tom4784]

My permanent state of being playing this game after encountering Mr. X for the first time.



Up until that point, nothing in this game actually scared me but that tall bowler hat wearing bitch? I don't **** with that.

[Scarlett.]

Spoiler:

That mother****er don't care about your horror game rules, he goes where ever he wants, when ever he wants

[Tom4784]

Okay, Mr. X isn't that bad, he goes from terrifying to annoying real quick.

[Jordan.]

Just opened up the statue and decided that was all the anxiety I can handle for now. Loving it so far though. The licker didn't scare me as much as I thought, it's the dumb things like a corpse falling out of a locker that had me yelling the most

The lickers are pretty easy in this game since you don't have to fight them if you don't make loud sounds.

So they're blind like tlou clickers?

Yup, they were actually blind in the original too, you could walk past them when you encountered them outside of ambushes but most people didn't realise that.

There is a problem in places where they appear alongside zombies though since they'll react to zombie sounds.

[Tom4784]

I've completed Leon's campaign, I really loved it. Is it too early to seriously consider this to be a GOTY contender? I only had two issues with the game and that was the first Mr. X chase as it went on far too long and it had the effect of tainting his appearances beyond that and Ada's section which I found to be an utter ball ache due to the Hacking Tool being a terrible mechanic. That being said, neither of those issues really dampened the game for me very much, I'm really excited to play Claire's campaign but I'm gonna take a break in order to play through Kingdom Hearts 3 (and hopefully forget the finer points of the game in the mean time so I can rediscover it all again).

RE2 is easily a 9.5 for me (would have been an easy 10 if not for the aforementioned two annoying parts). This is what a remake should be.

Loved the one from 1998 so I went into Argos to pick this up earlier and they're out of stock everywhere.

I'm so excited for this and "The Last Of Us II".

Out of stock? Great news, hope this means it is selling well.

[Jordan.]

Mr. X needs to step off my NECK and quit rushing me through the game.

Yeah, It was Ł36.99, so that's probably why...

[Jordan.]

I paid Ł37 on Amazon it's gone up to Ł52 now

[DouglasS]

I'm getting it tomooo

[Toy Soldier]

I want to play so much but I haven't finished RDR *or* Persona and I can't go back to that life. I'm going to wrap up both and then reward myself . And then buy Resi 2.

I saw that earlier. Cheeky gits.

[Scarlett.]

Exploring the library then this happens

Youtube video

[Jordan.]

I gasped seeing him haul his ass up the ladder

[Tom4784]

I thought I was being clever during that first chase, I ran into the library, ran up the stairs and stood by one of the doors so I could see him coming up the stairs so I could loop him, back then I didn't know there was a ladder and I turned around just in time for him to sucker punch me. I honestly screeched.

It's a shame he becomes such a joke after a few minutes though, the part when he's active in the police station goes on too long and it robs him of his power after a while because I just ended up seeing him again and again and I just rolled my eyes instead of being scared of him like I was when I first encountered him. Instead of being a persistent threat, they should have made him so he has set piece chases.

I hope they learn from X's mistakes when it comes to the inevitable RE3 remake. X was a good concept but the execution on his first appearance ruins him.

[Toy Soldier]

So he appears in A? That's kind of lame in itself because part of what made it so good in the original was that you really got to know the station inside out at a more chill pace on the A playthroughs and then it was a major spanner in the works on the B playthroughs.
