Speedran RE3 remake @ 1h4min, some day I try to go under 1h..

I just restarted RE3 as I was having trouble with Nemesis and hadn't collected everything I needed to before going into the creepy maze. Anyway, I'm just about to go in there and of course Nemesis appears after that. Any tips for avoiding the big fella?

That asshole is scripted, you can shoot him down to disable him for a while or just RUN!!!, I'd go for the latter.. Played the game 18 times already and all achievements cleared.

Heavy Hitter - Deal 50000 (or 500000? not sure) HP of damage in one hit
Done It All - Get all the other titles

4 songs in Chompcraft:

Max out my characters' stats (quite a bit away from that, I'll need a lot of Unearthly Buns)

Well, Total War: Rome Remastered is... Okay, I have something to say about it!

First of all, the first thing I want to point out is don't buy or play this game if you want to feel nostalgic. If you are a true Total War fan and would like to have Total War: Rome REMASTERED in your library, you can buy it and play it. However, I would like to point out that the game is Remaster, not Remake. By knowing this, buy and play the game. Otherwise, you will be grievously disappointed.

Although there are new elements and improvements, naturally, there are mostly improvements without going beyond graphic enhancement. However, I prefer the AI of Rome: Total War to the AI of Total War: Rome REMASTERED. In the REMASTERED version, both the campaign map and battle AI are disgraceful; at least that's how I experienced it. Units change formations just randomly. Sometimes they are acting like I'm not giving the order them to do something. The only bad thing about the REMASTERED version is the AI, and it is bad, really bad. I mean it!

However, the game has its advantages, too. Total War: Rome REMASTERED appears to be a completely new game that was not released as an improvement over the original Rome: Total War. This is the point that makes me worried. So, it also means they're changing artificial intelligence. If only they hadn't... From the graphics improvements to the game's REMASTERED version, there are more user-friendly elements in the game, also new contents that we haven't seen in the original Rome: Total War. The game supports ultra HD resolution. There's also amazing updated 3D unit models and textures, widescreen and ultra-wide monitor support. Not to mention the new agent Merchant, of course. The atmosphere of war, campaign map and visual effects are also included in the graphic development. The new pieces of information and lines on the faction, trade, summary, etc. screen and unit information screens on the campaign map of the game have also been improved. In addition, improved camera and control settings have been added to the game. In addition to these, there are also quick access lists to facilitate access.

Overall, it is a good game to experience Rome: Total War with good graphics and atmosphere, but as I said before; "...don't buy or play this game if you want to feel nostalgic. If you are a true Total War fan and would like to have Total War: Rome REMASTERED in your library, you can buy it and play it.

For me it would just be too much work to mod to the level I have the first one. It’s practically a remake at this point. I think I’ll pass on the remaster. Thanks for the update!

Yes, actually, we can say that there are some adding which make the game feel like a remake, but this AI. Oh, dear! I will never never forget these moments, they are funny and annoying. How they can not see these AI moves, acts, and etc. while they are QAing the game. How? I wonder... I have to do something about it, maybe an update, a really big update to work on AI. The only bad thing about the game is AI. Overall is good though.

By the way, I started with Julii, and defeated the Gauls, fought with Britannia and Spain to the death, did Marian Reforms, conquered half of Europe, hit to top on the economy; that was a good experience. But, I'm not talking about AI.

I really don't think this game was meant for us so to speak, probably meant for all the new Total War people coming from like the Warhammer ones and others, and were like oh yeah I missed out on Rome, I'll give this a try... aka a quick cash grab. Do I blame them? Nope, they have to keep getting paid and they can only churn out AAA titles so fast.

Kudos to you, buddy! I agree.

Finally finished my first Claire playthrough on Resident Evil 2, having left it for months when stuck on the final boss fight. In the end I changed the difficulty to assisted, organised my weapons...

Spoiler

only to find that he comes back later and jumps on the train

I also managed to get past Nemesis and into the sewers in RE3, having got the subway back online.

Spoiler

For what I paid for these two games, which wasn't much, you get to replay them as different characters or the same one but with a slightly different arc, which in my book is great value for money.
Scary at times, but nowhere near as creepy as AI. And I love all those puzzles.

Damn, i don't why i play the Life is Strange games. Just got though with one again after playing Before the Storm and i forgot how depressing even the good ending is...same with Life is Strange 2. A good ending ought to be just that and not depressing. I'm glad they handed Life is Strange 3 to Deck Nine like they did with Before the Storm...maybe LiS 3 will have a truly good ending.

I have been playing Anno 1701 History Edition tonight... it's honestly very well optimized and looks beautiful... this game is really underrated (assuming you like this genre). I have always loved this kind of stuff, it's what originally got me into PC gaming many years ago.

 

[FremenDar666]

Been playing and replaying all on native PC except one: RESIDENT EVIL 0 HD Remake, RESIDENT EVIL Remake HD, RE 2 Remake, RE 3 Remake, RESIDENT EVIL Code: Veronica X (GameCube and PS3 emulation it still counts), RESIDENT EVIL 4 HD, RESIDENT EVIL 6, RESIDENT EVIL 7, and RESIDENT EVIL Revelations 1. No, I haven't preordered RESIDENT EVIL VIII: VILLAGE.
Damn backlogs...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Been waiting a while to start this as the PC wasn’t ready (ie. 10 years old…)

I have all the main RE games on PC as well though I also haven't preordered Village yet. Also I have the original PS1 trilogy on PS3 as well as CVX.

I'm playing the RE Village demo and it's stunning to look at, especially inside the castle. Not much progress made though due to crashes

Don't Cut Off Your Hand With A Band Saw

I'm on level 0.

Does this mean you cut your hand off? Do you start at level 2 and decrease as you lose appendages or do you start at 0 and gain levels as you dismember yourself?

Every time you manage to do something correctly you gain a level.
If you fail, you lose a level. Negative levels are possible.

What's RE Village?

Resident Evil Director's Cut

OG ResiEvil1, PS1 game which I bought from PS3 store. Not the Dualshock version with the terrible music, still has the original OST

I like and hate the classic tank controls, as a retro gamer the shitty controls on older games is a thing we must just have to play or shut down the game. Just came back to the mansion and now the damn Hunters are all around... luckily I haven't spent many shotgun shells yet (tho I shot two spiders as I hate those).

Now I'll have few drunk CSGO deathmatches, but I'll go back and continue the RE1 file later on this night before I hit the bed.

Talking of RE, Carlos is about to tidy up the office.
