These days, game assets are so demanding. I suspect that's why we barely see original story mods for modern games. Read more

It seems like they're culminating to some kind of moment with Wesker's sister, but there are, technically, two "bonus" episodes coming. I'm not sure what those will cover, however. Read more

Sorry to hear about the PC version, that sucks. You're totally right about the ammo count: it's way more strict after episode one. I'm also really digging playing as Barry, and would probably be into a whole game that expanded his skillset. Throwing a smoke bomb and sneaking up to a bunch of creatures is really Read more

There's a...moment in the third episode I'm curious how people respond to. Read more

The invisible enemy dynamic is SO COOL. By far, my favorite bit about Revelations 2. Read more

We don't know yet! I suspect they're spin-off episodes about some of the side characters...Capcom has only given me access to the main episodes so far. Read more

Yep! I'm not sure why they can't built in quiet moments that aren't puzzle-centric. They just feel like filler in this game. Read more

The second episode was great! Plus, I think I'm like a lot of Resident Evil fans: desperate for the series to get better, unable to walk away when Capcom puts out a new one. Read more

They're about two hours each, give or take roughly 30 minutes. How much exploring you do could add some time. Read more

I was pretty torn on it! Lots of good stuff, lots of boring stuff. Overall, thumbs up! I also learned how damn useful the smoke bomb is with Barry. You can take out some of the most powerful enemies with his sneak takedown! Read more

Yeah, absolutely! Weirdly enough, I got into Monster Hunter 3 before getting into Dark Souls. Monster Hunter is what got me over the hump with "animation priority" — I think that's the technical term for what we're talking about here. I thought it was bad design, but after spending plenty of time with games that Read more

Nah, this isn't about the pipe. This is similar to what happens when, say, Direct TV starts telling people FX is going to go off the air because they're re-negotiating broadcast rights. HBO and Comcast need to strike a deal, but it has nothing to do with the speed of the pipe. Read more

Yeah, I was pretty careful to keep spoilers out of it. You're not going to know when the scares happen or how soon they happen! But I don't blame you for wanting to go in blind, it's what I do whenever I'm watching a trailer for a horror movie. The moment I know I've bought into the concept, I turn off the trailer. Read more

I am seriously saying I would seriously buy every zombie-themed amiibo that Nintendo seriously considered putting out. Seriously. Read more

These kinds of comments are such a bummer. How does someone enjoying a game that's not for you hurt you at all? Read more
