Oh mannn...I knew there was no auto-saving in hardcore mode....but I forgot there was no auto-saving in hardcore mode after I quickly discovered bosses can one shot kill your ass dead while getting a little too close to Birkin in the first encounter. I'm gonna have to plan my three saves carefully if I try for S/S+. Luckily I pretty much have the police station memorized so getting back to that point is a breeze.

Yeeeep. I was attempting an S+ a couple days ago with Leon and lost my whole run and hour in at the gator because I didn't realize how tough that thing can be to dodge(apparently I completely lucked my way through it the first time).

My tip for Claire in the sewers is to pull out the UZI. By then it should be fully upgraded(I think you get that last upgrade from the safe in the sewers) and by that point it becomes an absolute monster at taking out weakpoints. You can take a full health Adult G monster down in about 2-3 seconds of fire to that eyeball. They become a joke and if you've been saving it, you should have plenty of ammo to get it done.

The update modified scaling which trivializes the 0 boss cell runs at the expense of making anything past boss cell 1 or 2 substantially harder.

Unless I'm mis-remembering (it has been 20 years or so, after all), the B game in this one doesn't get near the attention to detail as the original. For example: seems kind of lame that Claire's B involves the same first boss fight as Leon's A, when the idea is supposed to be that the two of them are working in tandem. Again, maybe I just don't remember the original properly.

Eh there are definitely some serious inconsistencies in the conceit of "this is side by side" in the original A/B campaign as well. There are multiple puzzle you solve in the exact same way with both characters and get different results. The worst example imo is the painting you burn the middle out of.

The card game itself has potential, but the lack of any progression outside of just paying more money makes it tough to stick with in the same way as Hearthstone.

Er..is that actually the case though? Rorie's post clearly says they added progression and potential for free packs back in December.

I'll bet if you did a nationwide study to see if people are actually confusing the Netflix thing and CYOA books, the result would be "Most people didn't know CYOA books were still a thing". This brand confusion claim is complete nonsense.

This seems like it has a very obvious answer...

As of the redesign there's no such thing as a separate video and podcast version of something. There's just one page and if that thing happens to be a podcast with a video version then it shows up in both categories and you switch between the two on the fly.

Though I was more surprised that Monster Hunter World was even on the list considering that only Jan and Jason seems to be advocates of the game

Considering how many of the duders put it on their personal top 10s, it doesn't shock me at all. Hell it even cracked Jeff's list.

There's no way we don't get a Hitmas with 1. As popular as the "series" is and 2. the part where a new Hitman came out this year and it's one of the best games of the year.
