Was I the only one that was sort of turned off after playing the RE2 demo today? I didn't mind the gameplay or control all that much. The shooting was a little off to me, but I'm sure I could get used to it. The scene where you pull the police officer under the gate and his intestines are all hanging out just really grossed me out.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the Resident Evil Series. I hate horror and gory stuff but always enjoyed RE for some reason. The original 3 games are still my favorite. I enjoyed 7 quite a bit as well. However...for whatever reason this one just didn't vibe with me. The scene where you pull the police officer under the gate and his intestines are all hanging out just really grossed me out.

Not sure what my deal is. Maybe the gore was easier to stomach when it was all pixelated back on the PS1 and PS2?

It definitely shocked me, but in the same schlocky way as a similar scene from "Day of the Dead." It was so over-the-top and ludicrous that it became comical to me. And I don't mean that in an edgelord "I THINK GORE IS FUNNYYYYYYYYY #WORLDBURN" but in a way that came off as absurd. Like a B-movie should.

@justin258:A Cookout opened up near campus during my freshman year of undergrad. I'm 99% sure that single store is responsible for the rise of diabetes in the OH-KY-WV tristate area over the past few years.

@wiseblood: I didn't know about that. When they made the offhand comment I didn't know what they were talking about (should have waited a few seconds).

After looking it up: yikes ?

The question about the antiquated save system in REmake 2 is exactly who this isn't for. This is exactly the game us fans have been waiting for and the less that Capcom does to make it appeal to people who complain about shit like that the better. RE7 for instance is a huge bummer with how tacked on the "classic" systems were in that game.

Wow! What happened to poor Brad and his hands?

Yeah what the heck. That sounds awful. I'm glad he's back, but... yeesh. Are we gonna see Brad rockin' two gauzed-up hands soon?

Oh my god Quest 64. That was also my blockbuster rental of choice. I couldn't understand, as a youth, why the character couldn't jump like mario. It was 3D! Like Mario! It made sense to me that he should've been able to jump. OoT threw me for the same reason.

Oh man, Quest 64 is the one game I think of when I remember the Blockbuster days. Solely because I remember renting it, hating it, and immediately taking it back to the store.

Bradford C. Shoemaker's contribution to the site has been sorely missed and I'm glad he's back in the swing of things!

Good show, dudes.

Oh damn, I had hand, foot and mouth disease a couple of years ago and it is ROUGH. So exhausted, bedridden for a couple of weeks. The red spots dry out and then flake off and yeah, if any of them were under the fingernail it will just fall off. SUPER FUN.

Hey, me too! When Ben said the words "Quest 64," I actually exclaimed, out loud to no one, "Oh Ben, NO!"

Yup, REmake 2 gonna be a hell of a game. When I played the demo I just spent most of the time looking around and taking in the atmosphere. Didn't end up finishing but I'm eager to play the full thing!

The opening segment of this totally reminded me that i got very sick from a subway in Las Vegas when I was 13. It was a open air subway on the Fremont Street thing. Man, good times in Las Vegas lol

Leon looks like such a whimp, it's incredible. I really don't get the intention here, I mean I know he's the "rookie" stereo-type in RE2, but this is too much.

Quest64 was great and I won't hear otherwise.

(I haven't played it since I played it back then. I'm worried it's actually bad.)
