I've played heaps resident evils even though theres like 50 of anyway. None of them got harder. But they did get stupider like the outbreaks.

I still don't get what you're trying to get at. I mean, I completely understand your above statement, but what relevance does it have? Do you want a cookie for being able to sum up a video game plot?

I was told I was wrong in my summation. I, of course, am not.

There's 4, though I do see how it could be confused with a number as big as 50. Poor you.

Exaggerating to get a flawed point across, the sign of inaccuracy.

No. You were told that that didn't do it justice, which it doesn't, in my opinion.

No, I was told by Hotsauce that I wasn't right. He/She obviously thought I meant that I was factually right in my opinion of the story, which I didn't.

Then when he/she realised that they made the wrong assumption, they tried telling me I was yet again, wrong in my summation. That it was disagreed with. How can you disagree with an accurate summation? I'm admitting it's a summation, so saying it's not accurate because it lacks detail is a moot point.

Let's not go down this road again on a whole other thread, and please let's not even think about bring up Resident Evil, this isn't even a thread about Resident Evil, why can't it just be left alone.
And let's not make this about whose "right" and "wrong".
Why do you keep doing this Alpha Centauri, this seems to be a consistency with you.

is it comprehensible.....

Why not make it about who's (correct grammar) right and wrong? If there is a right and a wrong, then people will be right and wrong.

Hotsauce seems to be confused. I'm not, SnakeEyes is not. Let's move on. The only consistancy here is your inability to not reply needlessly to my posts. So either PM me with your problems or stop it.

-AC

I believe my reply to you was needed. And I have no problem. I'm just trying to prevent any problems from starting here. I have no idea what it is you want me to stop doing.

is it comprehensible.....

There are no problems here, your intervention is not needed. I have no problem with Hotsauce or SnakeEyes and the same can be said for them. We're just discussing.

Stop showing up and trying to cause shit. You already tried to imply that you were becoming a mod in an attempt to scare me, so drop the immature and childish crap, and get on with being sensible.

Got it? Get it. One more reply and I will report you, because I'm trying to debate with people peacefully.

-AC

Well, I don't understand the hostility toward's me, I came on here with good intentions, and have yet to say anything hostile, but if you say there's no problems, then I must have been mistaken by the posts that I read. I will digress.

IS IT COMPREHENSIBLE.....

I am factually correct when I say that's the base (note the fact that I am saying base, and not all encompassing story) of the story. That is what it is. It's about a male who has died, brought back to do favours for the gods in exchange for his soul to be put to rest, with the odd little side bit of info.

That's factually what it is IN A NUTSHELL <---Note that phrase. I'm not saying there's no more to it, I'm saying that's BASICALLY the story.

Which it is. What are you not getting? Go read a summary of the game plot, it will tell you what I have. It says the same more or less on the back of the case.

-AC

You misunderstood me. When I typed "A man..." I meant your whole interpretation of the plot. 😉

I don't understand what you're saying, then. 😬

Okay, yeah, that's basically the plot of the story. I can agree with that.

But what are you trying to say? The plot of anything--be it book, movie, or video game--can be boiled down to two or three sentences.

What are you trying to say?

And by the way, I'm a "he." 😉

I'm saying that beyond what I have described it as, there isn't much more. There is more, but not much. Not enough to grant it this status of 'great story' that you give it, in my opinion.

Resident Evil works with a tried and tested story type, yes. A fool would deny this. It also adds it's own flavour significantly while simultaneously crafting a path of it's own. God of War won't be looked back on as a great, excellent, stand-out game because there are way too many that are as 'good'.

When there's a Resident Evil-esque game, it's immediately recognisable where it draws influence from.

(To any idiots, I'm not making this about Resident Evil. Comparing is all.)

So I seem to be about 4 and a half year behind the rest of you, but I finally got around to playing and completing God of War.

Definitley a great game, even though some of the platforming got really, really frustrating (spikey column number two in Hades, damn you).

My Greek mythology knowledge is so-so, but I think above avarage, I did not however figure out who the Gravedigger was supposed to represent. Anyone got any info on him?

The Gravedigger is still up for debate. Nobody really knows.

The GoWIII DLC documentary confirms that it's Zeus.

The best game of that genre by far was Orphan: Scion of Sorcery, one of the single most overlooked PS2 games of all time.

That game had one of the WORST voiceovers in gaming.
Ever.
Worse than Zelda: The Faces of Evil.
And I'm not even kidding.

Even worse than Shenmue 2 in english?

Joy's english voice made me almost hate her were it not for watching Let's Plays of the Dreamcast version.

now try the challenge of the gods.. wait, do you have a corded controller? 'cause you'll throw your controller a lot.. and curse like a sailor.. maybe that was just me..

Yeah I pretty much gave up on the Challenges right away, just seemed like a tedious tacked on mode.

Sounds odd, he seemed so wise and mysterious, not like Zeus.

on one occasion, i worked on those challenges for 8 hours.. i sh!t you not.. failed miserably.. the last challenge was a *****.. i finished them though, after like 4 years of not playing GoW.. it was just for the extra costumes..
