It's that time again -- REVIEW TIIIIIME. :'D

Only this time, it's a DOUBLE REVIEW because I've fallen behind in everything lately. Obviously, hyooj spoilers for both!

Having played the heck out of the RE6 demo since last week, I've come away with many impressions -- some good, some not so good. As always, I will let Keanu Reeves the .gifs do the talking.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE RE6 DEMO TOMORROW

BRB PLAYING IT FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS EVER



MY BODY IS READY

I've said very little on the upcoming live-action RE film -- with good reason -- and what little I've said has been mostly restrained to Plurk. However, with the latest "fight" scene that just popped up, I feel I should do an obligatory .gif-reaction post.

( I didn't think you could get by in Hollywood lacking THIS much quality.Collapse )

Now, the only (mainstream) Final Fantasy games I've actually played are X and XIII, and those frustrated me so much that I've decided to save myself some pain by probably never participating in another one. BUT, the games are so freaking pretty and awesome that I do watch my sisters play them off and on; they started FFIX a while back, and I was actually there for most of it, so I'm familiar with about 90% of the story.

They beat the game last night.



I just. I just. I JUST--

GOD WHY ARE THESE STUPID GAMES SUCH TEAR-JERKERS

WTF WHY DO I EVEN TAKE INTEREST IN RPGs ANYMORE BECAUSE ALL THEY DO IS MAKE ME CRY

( SPOILERSCollapse )

brb sob

Video games: the only thing that can both get me to dance like this and enjoy it.



Say what you like. I have fun with it.

As I play through RE2, there are a few things that I really need to keep in mind:

-THERE IS NO 180-TURN. I MUST STOP FORGETTING THIS EVERY TIME A ZOMBIE GETS UP ON ME.

-I AM NOT JILL. Read: I cannot dodge things except when I manually run around them. ...Which probably means that reflexively button-mashing every time I get grabbed is useless.

-I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT CERBERUS DEAL MORE DAMAGE NOW. Stop trying to dodge and just kill the stupid things. I HAVE ENOUGH AMMO TO SPARE.

Orz I don't know what it is about this game in particular, but fml it's tedious and things need to stop jumping out of pseudo-still background images. Trenchy The Tyrant's going to give me a heart attack at this rate and stop popping up at random, Sherry. You're lucky I'm not in control during cutscenes because I would've shot you by now.

Iiiiiiin other news, I was tricked duped ganged up on tempted enabled talked into joining a new RP game, Dragon Haven -- my first DreamWidth game, no less! In my defense, all I did was post at dear_mun with Trish after moving her journal over and I was immediately jumped by an awesome DMC cast. ;; Who, aside from being awesome, doesn't seem to mind my backtagging tendencies. Excellent.

It seems like a pretty laidback place, and it's considerably brighter in theme than I generally find myself interested in, so that's a nice change of pace. I'm not a total sadist, tyvm. I was just accepted as Trish, and I may app Jill, too. Maybe from a different canon point than usual, just to mix things up? Hmm...

Either way, I figure I've made time for a game on the side since I've pretty much forsaken Bakerstreet; it's full of so much drama now that it's practically a joke. 'B| Not to mention half the memes are sex memes, which I have no interest in (and I swear I see the same one three or four times a week sometimes, wtf), and I play from a lot of obscure series, and a lot of players are rather snooty about refusing to backtag (or about tagging back at ALL), so. Bleh. Unless I'm interacting with RP buddies of mine, it's really not worth it.

I already posted this on Tumblr, but wth, I'll post it here, too, for reference.

( My RE6 Ada Wong Conspiracy Theory -- because seriously? No one else has noticed these things?Collapse )

So, in a nutshell--

Capcom: LOOK GAIZ IT IS ADA

Me:




Also, I did a thing, because this is pretty much how I feel as I play through the REmake:



I AM A TTL ARTIST, Y/N

[50] Resident Evil 6 (E3 trailer)
[11] Resident Evil: Revelations
[26] Speed

-> [87] TOTAL
