( the " difficulty " isnt an issue, id dare say im in the really higher ups of people who play and master games on the highest difficulties. ive beat the game on hardcore, its not too hard at all but something as simple as exploring the RPD station you cannot simply do by clearing out a zone because one time you might get 30 bullets and can kill all the zombies with head shots, the next time it might not work, and you always have mr x pestering you. you cannot use prior knowledge and apply it to a satisfying manner for me )
With these replies to my comments ( both of my comments now ) with their primary reason for existing being about asking is this game dead as nobody is playing or talking about it any more, and if it is a failure as a resident evil 2 remake ( as again nobody is talking or playing it any more ) i am not getting the answer to either question.
I am not sure if i am wording it wrong or not.
It sold well, it was received well. I said this twice already and now a third time so i dont know why i keep getting this replied back to me when i am asking why nobody talks about the game any more. My issue being, despite that initial praise, there has been no activity for literally 2 months on this forum. on a game that had been released for only 4 months of a game that has been anticipated for 15 years.
The channels i followed on youtube who made content during the down time on the franchise dont even make anything now. Even during RE 6 which was considered trash, and Re 7 which was mixed, and the revelations games the fan base and this forum were thriving. But then this game came out and killed it all. Theres no merch, no figures, no more dlc, nobody cares any more. Its so sad. You can even scroll back through the last few pages of this thread
( even though 2-3 pages might span 4 months ) you can see how people are commenting on the problems with the game and that the original actually did it better.
I am not trying to hate on the game if i am striking a nerve with people and thats the initial knee jerk response i am getting, just trying to initiate and give some life back to the discussion.
Yeah, you can also scroll back and see people commenting that they think the game is great and better than the original as well. Right after your post a guy posted and said he think the new version is better. You ignore all the posts people made months ago about loving this game, saying it's better than the original and only bring up the negative posts to make your point lol. Me, my brothers and some of my friends were all playing the original back in 1998 and we all seem to agree we like it better than the original. A game I might add is one of my all time favorite games and one I've beaten over 50 times easy.
You're complaining that's it's different every time you play it lol. Sorry, that's what gives it replay value. Who wants a game to be exactly the same every time you play it, go play the original if that's what you want. Me, I like that. The original game is the same thing every time, this isn't but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's like getting a new experience every time, which is awesome. I like the new character designs, graphics, layout of the Police Station because it actually makes sense now. The acting and dialogue is top notch and it shows how bad the original was. The enemies acting different and Mr X actually chasing you instead of you opening a door and not seeing him follow chase until your next encounter like the original is night and day better. In the original, he just doesn't follow and it makes no sense. If you go back in the door, he's vanished lol. Just about everything is superior to the original. I love how zombies actually give chase vs opening a door and them staying in that room. The new game is vastly superior in so many ways.
Since you think you're in the higher ups and master games, why not unlock the unlimited ammo for the guns, and you wouldn't have to worry about Mr. X and can explore like you want. I've explored every nook and cranny and everytime X comes by, I blast him with the rocket launcher and go about my business.
Why are you surprised there has been no talk on this forum? It's a toy forum with a small video game subsection. Hardly anyone comes in here to begin with. There wasn't hardly any merch for any of the other Resident Evil games either, but there is going to be 1/6 figures of this game. There is no new toy talk and the game has been out awhile, so of course talk died down, like it does with everything.
You keep saying things like ''Nobody is playing it or talking about it''
Which is a flat wrong. People still play the game, people still like the game and people are still talking about it. You're basing all of this on a toy forum, some you tube channels and your own opinion of the game.
Every game's discussion dies down, it happens, just like it did with the original. People always move on to different games, that doesn't mean they don't love it. People will eventually return to it, just like the original part 2.
The game is fine, sounds to me like you're the one with the problem.
You say you haven't gotten the answer to your questions, yeah you basically have but you keep asking them over and over and not accepting what we're saying.
You've had what? 7 people already come in here and tell you they love the game, tell you their opinion why they disagree with you, yet you keep saying the same things.
It's like someone bakes a cake, dozen of people love it, then 1 guy (you) doesn't like it and decides it's a failure and tries to tell us why it is lol. It's just not so because you don't like it.
7 people telling you we love the game, think it's a success vs you. Maybe, just maybe, you're the one with the problem? Almost every You Tube gaming channel said it was amazing and some said better than the original. Big sites said the same. Sales were off the charts. You ask why we keep bringing this up, well it's evidence the game isn't a failure and I think it's stronger evidence vs your opinion it's a failure based on your experience.
Also, You Tube channels still play the game, hell one I frequent shows videos each week of new mods. People are still modding this game and mods come out multiple times a week. That alone disproves you saying ''No one plays it anymore''
The fact I've beaten it over a dozen times, others in here saying they've beaten it multiple times shows the game was loved so much, we kept playing it. Yet, it's a failure to impress lol.
Not being rude but it seems you're ignoring everything we've said and just basically repeated your previous posts, causing me to have to repeat myself. So if you respond to me, me not responding isn't me being rude, I just have basically said everything I have to say about it and disagree with your assessment 100 percent.
