For me, the Wii Edition provided the best, most immersive control scheme and experience. Especially when you had to aim your sniper rifle, and your Wiimote hand began to shake. Read more

Really, though, there's a bigger concern here about how Destiny's loot and leveling systems work. A whole swath of players wouldn't be congregating at farm sites so diligently if the rewards weren't worth it. My hope is that future updates—new strikes, missions, anything—are a bit more generous in terms of rewards… Read more

I just don't see the point. There's plenty of places to get plenty of loot that don't involve standing around and shooting at the same spot for hours at a time. Ishtar Commons on Venus was doing pretty well on drops for me last night. Read more

These exploits are pretty harmless as the period of the game where this sort of loot is helpful is relatively limited. Once you have all lvl 20 blue armor (which shouldn't take very long at a treasure cave), you progress much faster through the completion of activities that guarantee you a legendary, such as the… Read more

Yeah, for me it was just a quick thing I could do to get a bunch of upgrade materials. Read more

Yea I could see it being a good bridge to like level 22-23. When I hit 20 I was still finishing some stuff and got lucky with random drops and kinda shot to level 22ish. By the time I looked into the cave I think I was 23 so it was already pushing its usefulness. That being said I have nearly 200 sapphire wire and and… Read more

This was such an awesome read! It also brings back memories of my playthrough with RE4 - I was so blown away by the graphics at the time, I spent at least 10 minutes marveling at the outside of that initial house (and also gathering the courage needed to go in...). Such a great game. Read more

PS4Trophies in the video up top has the best strategy in terms of where to stand and how to pick off your enemies, but if you're confused as to how to get to this specific spot, Sterben walks you through exactly how to get there:

Today I finally relapsed on Destiny, got my 25th Mote of Light, spent it at Xur on the Exotic Engram and got a fucking badass exotic helmet for a Titan. I'm a Hunter. Bungie really just needs to make engrams class specific not this random class bullshit. I'm a Hunter with WAYYY better armor in the vault for Warlock… Read more

There are major issues with Destiny's loot system ATM. This method is the only way to even have a remote chance at getting decent gear save Vault of Glass where the best gear is locked. Read more

Amazing point and article. Read more

Great write up. The third time I played that level, I had worked out a system that made it very easy to survive the first village. Knowing that entering the entering the house with the shotgun is basically when shit hits the fan, I would go there last. First is to run through all the surrounding houses, engaging a… Read more

Excellent article. RE4 did so many things right it's scary. Some people hate not being able to shoot and move simultaneously but the game would've been so much worse.

The only thing I would argue is that, as you played the game, that tension did actually die down as the player got accustomed to the formula and ammo… Read more

To this day, no game has lived up to that opening. I don't know if horror games just stopped frightening me, or what, but never have I felt the way I did during the opening of Resident Evil 4. Read more

One of the best GameCube games and still the best RE game around. I remember I was blown away when this game dropped.

And the chainsaw guy!! :S Read more

Recently started playing RE4 with a couple friends after not touching it for the better part of a decade. When I was younger I could stomp my way through the village with ease, no troubles whatsoever as I pulled off perfect head shots, lead the ganados around the village and picked them off one at a time. This time,… Read more

The sense of dread in this game is fucking unbearable Read more

RE4, and that opening in particular was a milestone for gaming imo. Was never much of an RE fan beforehand (okay RE1 was amazing at the time), but the cinematic quality, atmosphere and restrictive-but-functional gameplay of RE4 is a near-perfect recipe. Read more

Good write up, captured really well what was great about RE4. And quite frankly, everything after that opening was a bit of a let down. It became too QTE and puzzle boss focused. Losing the feeling of that opening sequence, the mystery, fear... Read more
