Quick Look: Resident Evil 5: Desperate Escape

Brad is so racist, he called Josh "homie."

" brad's worst performance ever?  running from one end of the map, only to flick through his inventory and go 'AHH' and then run to the other side. repeat.  brilliant "

"That part of the video where Brad just runs around in circles avoiding the dudes with chainsaws could really use a Benny Hill track. :)  "

I think I've figured it out, it's not that Brad is terrible at games per se, he just can't multitask for shit. Anytime in any of these quicklooks where you'd have to do a few things at once he just goes "Aahhh" and manages to do nothing at all, usually killing him in the process.

DE is a lot of fun, and well worth the $5.  I already played it four times:  the first time, two more times to get an S-rank on Normal, and a fourth time to get the Shoot The Messenger trophy.
 
The boss enemies change every time so there is some replay value.  And even on Normal, it's a decent challenge.

Heh, Brad just refused to use the flash grenade on the Duvalia.  Would have been an instant kill with no need to aim.

Brad usually doesn't usually frustrate me in these quick looks but dude this one the whole time I was yelling "SHOOT HIM" its possible to kill the chainsaw guy with your peashooter!

"It could look like Heavy Rain if you use the toilet, you know what I'm saying." Ah Vinny, your quirky remarks never bore me.

Seeing this somehow made me interested in playing RE5, Maybe I'll pick up the gold edition. Later.

" Who the heck thought that making Jill Valentine into Nina Williams was a good idea? "

After playing Left 4 Dead it's painfully obvious how much you're actually fighting the crappy tank steering and awful control scheme with a terrible low FOV camera instead of actual enemies here.

At least its got flashy visuals.

Watching Brad play is hilarious, he's my homie.

Brad isn't using the RE 4-style "tank" controls.

" Gears of War with monsters. "

hey Brad... don't take it too hard on yourself.
These kinds of games are more dependent on fear and panic then you think... it's not the same with seeing the game and playing it.  Let's see you playing better huh?( well prolly some of you do but I am just saying to the guys that never played this game but act like they're all fing pros or something... Talk is cheap man you gotta show it with actions... That's the problem with people these days.)
Not a lot of people perform better when they are in pressure it's just human nature... Stop judging this guy and riding him like you guys are all so damn holy or something.
I mean I gotta agree Brad didn't play well... but us bitching him out about it isn't helping... it's making it worse.
LET THE MAN ENJOY HIS GAMES!!!
Edit: Though I admit that I was saying SHOOT! SHOOT! while watching Brad play this game... to put it nicely his defensive is good but his offensive needs work... but the man had enough man... well hope you put this behind you Brad and hopefully it can help you become a better man.

I can't stand Brad playing a Quick Look. For 25 of the 33 this lasted I was yelling at Brad to stop sucking. God damnit.

I love RE5, it is a good game with fun coop.
 
I also love Brad failing to be good at video games! Fantastic.

Looking at RE5 in hindsight, I realize how bad that control scheme really was. It fights you every fucking step of the way. God, I hope they start from scratch for RE6.

Still looks fine.  And the whole stand and shoot thing doesn't seem so bad.

" I love RE5, it is a good game with fun coop.  I also love Brad failing to be good at video games! Fantastic. "

i suspect whenever brad reads comments bitching about how he sucks at quick looks, he makes it a concerted effort to suck harder the next episode out of spite

I can't watch people play RE5 without wondering why all shots aren't to the feet or the head to allow for a melee hits or kills. When I beat the game the first time with my friend it was all neck breaks and slit throats for us to conserve ammo and prevent the plaga from coming out.

Never again will Brad call it : (.

I like to think of it as succeeding at being bad. "

14:42... lmfao <3 Brad! We need him controlling more Quick Looks!

I love Brad QL's, but make no mistake - he is not good at them, haha.
 
Either that, or he's just not very good at shooters, period.  I'm reluctant to believe that though.  He plays these games for a living!
 
It's more likely that Brad just can't hold a conversation and play games at the same time.  50% of his dialogue in these things is just him going "Ahhh!" or "Oh God!" or "Oh!" over and over again, haha.
 
And the area with the two chainsaw wielding guys, where Brad was just running from one end of the area to the other repeatedly, and not shooting anything?  Priceless.
 
Watching Brad do a shooter QL, is like watching a horror movie - except instead of screaming "watch out, he's right behind you!" at my TV, I find myself screaming "just fucking shoot something Brad!" at my computer instead.
 
Long live Brad, haha.

"My cousin and i played through that game on  professional." I find that hard to believe...

Eh maybe I'll download the RE 5 DLC stuff next time. Oh and why didn't Vinny play with Brad?

use the d pad you idiot!

That was entertaining, thanks guys. :)

Was busy checking out Jill.

92 retries?! I'd give up at  10!  XD

Eventually those chainsaws have to run out of gas, right?
RUN BRAD RUN
 
*needs Double Knee Drop animated GIF nao*

Ahhh... Resident Evil. Such a hard series to get back to after playing Dead Space.

I'm not normally one to criticize someone's skill, but this was positively nerve wracking to watch...

""My cousin and i played through that game on  professional." I find that hard to believe... "

I just played Braid and if you rewind YOU DON'T DIE OH IT IS SO HARD!!!!!!!!

Why? Or are you just trying to be a douche? "

Bradley! shoot those guys! It's what your gun is for!!

Resident Giant Bomb 5:Desperate Quick Look

Ha, ha, if Ryan had been present during this quick look, Brad would never have heard the end of it.  I imagine a tersely delivered "Come on, Brad, stop bein' a bitch," would have been thrown in there somewhere, and of course at least a couple of Ryan's trademark "GOD-DAMNIT"s would be uttered here and there.

I was not yelling shoot him more like. OMG Brad YOUR WASTING AMMO! Your supposed to shoot them in the head and then roundhouse them and finish them off kicking them on the ground! GAWD!! And the Chainsaw guys I was like "DUDE BRAD JUST USE THE SNIPER RIFLE!" Sorry, being more of a serious Resident Evil 4-5 player I just kept cringing at Brad's technique.

Shoot your fucking gun. GOD-DAMMIT BRAD!
 
How do you fuck up a completely action oriented Quick Look? Let Brad play it.
 
I'm sorry Brad. I still like you, but damn, after watching this QL even you'd have to admit, you sucked it up to an infuriating level for this one.

Brad's comment about slash fiction reminded me of a very odd fan comic I saw last year where Wesker puts those mind control dealies on both Chris and Sheva's chests and then forces them to fuck for his amusement. The art was almost as bad as the concept.

The way Brad played the first 20 minutes reminded me of the guy at the end of Saving Private Ryan.  Just running around with tons of ammo and equipment and not really doing much.  I love Brad, there were just too many times where I was like just shoot 'em, shoot 'em now, at least weaken them or something, anything.

this looks kind of COOL
