What are you currently playing?

Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries mode.

Took another crack at Leon in the castle. Hardest character to five Star with.

Been playing Witcher 3. Great game.

Recently bought Dishonored 2 on steam. Haven't played it yet though.

Resident Evil 4,I've decided to give it another shot

Just remember to upgrade your weapons. I tend to hoard my money in most games, and didn't upgrade a thing up to Salazar's boss fight. Good for a challenge, but could be frustrating if you're not used to the play style..

Gather as much money as possible to upgrade weapons.

Also, use special attacks. Their animation is invulnerable, and it knocks away crowds. And saves ammo on kills.

Head shot triggerbs the spinkick prompt, and a knee shot triggers the suplex. Learn the right stagger animations, and get as close as possible to trigger.

Damn, the only Resident Evil game I've played is Resident Evil 2. It was one of the first PS1 games I bought. Great game.

I bit the bullet and bought RE7 Gold. Not a fan of a certain enemy but it's quite good.

2 is phucking great.

I loved RE7, thought it was the best RE game since probably the second one. Was genuinely creepy and thought it had the best marriage of survival and puzzles since the old PS1 ones.

I never completed RE4, it was good but I just wasn't as into it as others.

I liked how RE7 was more or less a return to the style of the older games (minus the first person view, which I actually liked a lot). Basically in a big house most of the game. Felt kinda like a remake of the first game. Some great atmosphere and slow building of tension.

RE2 is great, but I still think RE4 is the best.

Resi 4 is the best. 👆

God knows I loved and played the shit out of RE4 as an early teen, but the originals are just so much better in my eyes. And RE7 is scratching that itch so hard. It's tasty.

Psychonauts.

You know, it's hard to believe Psychonauts is a mere PS2 game.

It's one of those games you show people who insist the console was the weakest of the three. (I am playing it on PC, but the point stands..)

Weakest technically. Everyone had an Atari 2600 too, none of them would say it can match the Intellivision or Coleco.

Hollow Knight.

Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

Edit: Not really playing, working on a mod.

Back on Brutal Doom.

The first campaign boss earns the Brutal title. Two highly mobile giant Centaurs, in a small confined space, with fast moving fireballs that hit like a Cyberdemon missile. You can beat them solo, I think, but I gave up trying and kept four marine bots the game gives you in reserve to aggro the things. I'd imagine that bots were given for exactly that reason by design, as anyone who gets to the boss without the marine bots can figure out (They die easy, which is why I ordered them to stay put at the start of the map, and went back for them later.)

You can see similar design choices in the series, for example a door key underneath a Thwomp like ceiling block, moving much too fast to avoid, and in a separate room filled with monsters, an invulnerability sphere. Anyone would assume the sphere is for the horde, but it's really to get the key from the death trap. Which you can't do if you wasted it. And you better have saved if you did, and not saved over that critical save afterwards.

Pretty snarky design, honestly.
